I choose Stainless Steel to make metal sculptures because it is a green material that can be transformed into natural subjects of nature by using material, which would have been recycled. Using old world techniques of the Silver Guild, traditional hand forming is applied to achieve exquisite texture and relief shapes that move the alloy. With a painterly style, translucent acrylics are blended in progressive layers to emit luminance of the metal forming techniques.

The Sun Series
Work in 2008 was difficult because of that old full-time job but the starving artist must carry on with life and still survive. Dave expanded his line of art this year by making a new series of art by making the "Sun Series". A lot of artist that make the "Sun", hope to catch a few rays and make someone smile. Dave put the sun series together piece by piece with hand made segments and then acrylic painted the Stainless Steel. The art can readily be hung on the wall or put on a custom stand if requested for table or mantle display. The Series are 12 inches in diameter and can be made custom if requested.
