About The Artist
My metal sculptures are a direct reflection of who I really am. The whimsical characters and extravagant shapes are drawn by handonto the steel and yet truly come from my heart. This is why I recently started making my sculptures "Heart Of Steel." I have alwaysincorporated the heart into my pieces but now I am really putting my "Whole Heart" into it by making it the main shape on theexterior. My symbols reflect the joy I experience throughout my life, people around me and art from around the world.I maintain the high level of quality and individuality that goes into every piece by doing all of the work myself. I have no assistantsand absolutely never uses any type of mass production.
I design, then draw each piece out on a sheet of stainless steel, then cut every element of negative space out with a hand heldelectric torch, thus leaving the viewer with the musicality of shapes dancing on a plane of two dimensional steel. The process is takeneven further with the addition of welding on ball bearings, and masonry nails and metal rod. Gold, and or copper leaf and enamelpaint is applied to certain areas which makes the previously flat sheet of stainless steel a glowing jewel for any wall.
