I was commissioned by the Royal Canadian Mint to create a design for the new 2016 $10 Silver Coin called the "Celebration of Love" - a precious memento to mark the loving milestones of life. My fine silver coin features a heart-warming expression of love centred upon a pair of doves with decorative ornaments adorned with five crystal clear Swarovski® crystals. This was one of the most exciting projects I've had the privilege to work on. I am grateful for the amazing and talented team of engravers at the Mint who brought my vision to life.
