Mark Van de Bogart is a self-taught metalsmith.
My accrued knowledge combined with my skills defines my work. I usually start a piece with a vision in my head that leads to a drawing and then construction.~Mark Van de Bogart
Using solid USA refined precious metals and several different fabricating, soldering and polishing techniques, he creates original wearable works of unique art that, by human nature, are constantly evolving.
