This was my first piece of metal art. The one that started my passion for metal sculpture. I have not stopped since. Now my house is so full I am running out of room for my family.
This creation was one my earlier ones. I was so excited when I finished I started dancing around my shop. It is still one of my favorites even today. It makes me laugh! This is the piece that encouraged me to press forward and dream up new ideas, now i can’t stop. How fun is that, to dream up anything and craft it into reality.
The feeling of being able to cut bend and twist metal any way i need it to go is wonderful but making people smile and laugh is an even greater reward.
