Creative Wallscapes


Being creative in wallscapes is open for flow and a desire for change by decor style.  I am creating different art designs that express  natural flow and texture.  Even though the medium is stainless steel it expresses style because of the natural hues when the metal is heat treated.  In this piece of art the Lilacs are distorted in shape and the Ivy balances the elegance of the Roses.  This design is 40" Tall by 32"Wide which was created in 2007.  The project was labor intense but well worth the time.

I would like to get feed-back on the art to see if the public agrees with my efforts.  I am starting this Blog to get different opinions from collectors and artists alike.

Artist Statement


Metal Sculptures of floral design are being created with passion to display emotion and character in metal forming and finishing.  The detailing of each creation is not to be confused with the intricate design of Mother Nature of a given species but instead the essence of natures beauty is being extracted.
The art sculptures have evolved into fresh dimensions with metal and other mixed media.  
The Art is made of at least 80% green material to help with our ecology in cleaning up our earth.  I try to utilize materials that are scrap from industrial drops and used furniture. 
My passion for metal work has been a life style, whether is has been artistic, bobby, business, or trade.  As in all forms of metalworking I have taken a sense of pride in my work to create and exceed my clients expectations.  The essence of timing to present a unique project is critical, planning essential, and having a reason to commit with projection.  I believe that within every Fabricator is an Artist at heart but drawing the passion out of a person to create with meaning, makes him or her successful.

Who am I


I am a self-taught artist working in metal sculptures of floral & nature related design. I have been developing my style and technique for 8 year.  The art is intended to be for interior decorating right now and is being expanded to exterior design.  The medium is currently of Stainless Steel that has been heat-treated to obtain the desired hues and/or painted with acrylics.  
The artist is not trying to copy mother nature but instead drawing out the essence of mother nature to capture the subject in sculpture.

Currently, sculptures have been made as table arrangements, wallscapes, and pedistal arrangements.

I am open to suggestions and feed-back to the art and progression for future works.
