WELCOME TO MY STUDIO!

Working first from my drawings, I weld armatures from round steel bar stock as a three-dimensional guide for my work. I create volume by drafting patterns and transferring them to sheet steel, which I cut, texture, form and weld around the armatures. Once I have finished creating my metal forms, I reevaluate them again with fresh eyes and focus on their surfaces. I apply a mix of patinas, metal leaf, wax and paint in many layers, sanding selectively between applications and reapplying my surface treatments.
