| Fabricated
steel sculpture can be very graphical in it's appearance. Typically, I
build from mild steel and found objects. The tools that I use are
oxyacetylene cutting torch, 5000 rpm steel grinder and an electric arc
welder. With these basic tools many prospective artifacts can be
created. Industrial processes are combined with aescetic judgement.

| I allow
my sculptures to oxidize to a rich, rusty brown. I love the aged look.

| Architectural
and functional works are often commissioned. These include furniture, gates
and panels. My work transcends typical architectural iron. The
pieces I fabricate are unique artworks. |

| Rockfish
Sculpture are an 'open-ended' series which consists of a natural surf
tumbled stone encased in a fabricated steel fish shape. As every
individual stone is unique, each rockfish is a species unto itself.

Although building steel
sculpture is
physcially demanding, I derive satisfaction from the process and
enjoyment from viewing the finished product. When a piece turns out
better than the drawing, it is very exciting.
