From a very early age I gravitated toward art in all its forms as I spent much of my youth drawing, sculpting, creating and building. I was sure that art was going to be my career but my love for science and human health soon changed my path.

After deferring an art scholarship in college I went full steam ahead into the pre-med academic track, attended medical school and became a physician. Throughout my 20 year medical career my love for art remained and now that I’m semi-retired from medicine I’ve come full circle.

Continuing to draw, sculpt, create and build I’ve ultimately settled upon metal as my choice of material. New metal. Old metal. Clean metal. Rusty metal. Any metal really! I love it all.

The industrial aesthetic has alway satisfied me and continues to capture my imagination as I thoroughly enjoy combining an eclectic assortment of recycled and repurposed metals, hardware, signage and construction materials in an uncommon manner.

I’ll use whatever is available if it fits the piece. Nuts, bolts, brackets, rivets, washers, saw blades, steel rope, springs, screws, wing nuts, metal letters from old signage, copper tubing, electrical conduit, faucet handles and pretty much anything else I can get my hands on.

A little splash of paint here, some custom patina there, and beautiful metal, some of it bare, everywhere!

I view my metal creations as an extension of the human experience. The highly structured geometric frames represent the inherent box of conformity that society tends to place us in.

At the center, within that frame is you!

That steel rope projecting from you in the center to beyond the border of the frame represents your adventurous spirit as it strives to think out of the box while breaking free and soaring above the limitations of conformity, structure and routine.

What does your adventurous spirit look like?

Explore. Dream. Discover.
