As an artist, I am drawn to the raw, elemental nature of steel, its strength and flexibility, and the ways it can be transformed and manipulated. I am equally fascinated by the possibilities presented by combining it with other media, and how disparate materials can be brought together to create something new. Throughout the process of creating art, I am constantly experimenting, exploring, and learning.
In my work, I often incorporate salvaged materials, such as stone, tile, various scraps, or repurposed metal, not only for the environmental benefits but also for the unique character they bring to each piece. I also use salvaged wood and epoxy resins, which imbue the metal with warmth and color, providing a visual and tactile contrast to the industrial aesthetic of the steel.
Whether functional, decorative, whimsical, or thought-provoking, each piece I create is a reflection of my passion for the transformative power of art, and my belief that it should be an integral part of people’s daily lives.

I’d be happy to make something similar just for you, or create a unique piece based on your concept, specifications, or drawings.
