Dan Oliver made both traditional and contemporary silver work. He used pottery and rug designs in his traditional work. He says he gets his inspiration from nature: trees, animals, birds, mountains. Dan says: "Silversmithing is all I've ever done my whole life. I would like people to remember me for my silver work." Dan Oliver (b. July 22, 1957 - Aug. 17, 2015)
