ART: Handcrafted RETTOCAMME designs incorporate new and unusual products and elements. Importance is placed on creating a truly unique, personalized item and time is taken to find the most efficient and cost-effective method of production. Services for artists and not-for-profit organizations are extremely negotiable and may be paid for in trade.

DESIGN: During the past fifteen years, I have supported my dancing career by handling, framing and most recently, restoring thousands of artworks and objects from every imaginable genre. This submersion in other people's work has had its impact on all of my artistic pursuits.
