I can help you come up with a concept to fit your style. Let me know if I can assist you with your artistic needs.

I use recycled automobile and bicycle parts, along with new steel and other miscellaneous parts and mediums to create sculptures and wall art. I find inspiration in nature, human emotion, and a deep sense that there's more to this world than what we see.
