Metal Working Sculptor, Val Bertoia, engineers hundreds of Sounding Gongs & Sculptures since the 1950s with his Father

After 25 yrs. of restoring Bertoia,  Val asked me to Etch in Bronze, one of his Bertoia Gongs. I collaborate with Val ever since etching with my personal touch, a philosophy that is apropo of Bertoia.  We make rare  'One of a Kind' Diptych of Gongs/Prints to rise up an Experience that takes you to another place of healing and transformation.
