As a self-taught artist, I have spent my life refining my own personal skills and style. My sculptures are created one at a time using a variety of metal forming techniques to produce a life-like yet artistic quality. By designing and fashioning many of my own tools as well as hand hammering and hand cutting each piece, I achieve a look that cannot be attained by mass production. My abstract paintings are free flowing, organic shapes and textures, combined with very structured elements. Combinations of oil and acrylic paints on canvas, but really almost anything goes. An interest and enthusiasm for experimenting with rhythmic lines and inventive patterns results in unique and distinctive creations. My work has found its way to homes, restaurants and museums around the United States and as far away as Europe and Australia. I pride myself on quality craftsmanship and the use of quality materials. I hope you enjoy my original art.
