ABOUT THE ARTIST:
I’m an Electrical Tech and Machinist who worked for a specialized machine builder. After leaving the workforce, I found myself with time to experiment with making mosaic sculptures. In 2010 I bought equipment and started making welded metal sculptures. My hobby has become a full-time obsession for me. I try to make each piece entertaining. One recurring comment I hear from people is that my art makes them smile. That’s what makes it fun! There’s no turning back now—this is what I want to do when I grow up!
