“I had a desire to work three dimensionally at a young age. Studying interior design reinforced this concept. Visiting a blacksmith shop in 1996 sold me, instantly, on the fluid nature of metal. I traded my skills in drawing to learn hands on skills in metal. I love working with metal and fusing other elements to create a work of art.”
