Here you may see a sample of my own work. People are often surprised that a mathematician can be creative, but most people do not realize that higher math requires a great deal of creativity. I may seem cold and emotionless to some, but my art is a way of expressing my deep and often indecipherable feelings and of creating beauty. I make everything completely by hand, including all of the sewn items which are hand stitched. They take forever to make and then are usually slightly uneven. But that to me makes them more authentic. Who wants a machine-stamped and soulless item? Something crafted by hand with time and care put into it is so much more valuable. I do custom work, and if you see something that you like or get an idea, email me and we can discuss it. The cost will depend on how complex the item is and how long it takes to make it. For example, an embroidered item may require 24-36 hours to complete and therefore be outrageously expensive. But they are also incredibly beautiful (the photos don't do them justice) and if you have the money you may find them to be worth it. At the other extreme, a hand-painted wine glass may take only an hour or two and minimal expense for materials.
