About The Artist


I discovered my interest in artistic design in college while studying CAD. What I found was that once the design was done, I wanted to build it and watch it take form. Some years later, I was introduced to metal work and began designing and building custom furniture using tube steel, wrought iron and sheet metal. I found working with metal particularly appealing because of the infinite possibilities and surprising flexibility of working with a hard material. There is an organic, raw feel to metal and its manipulation that inspires me to sculpt. Each piece I create starts as an idea with a particular flow. I don’t sketch out what I will create. My process is to have a basic concept I plan to achieve, but allow it to evolve naturally; the design and flow comes from my head straight into the piece. As I work, touching flame to metal, the creation begins to speak to me, directing me to the form it wants to become.
