My work includes both decorative and functional pieces constructed of metal, wood, glass and tile.
.

I often enjoy working with recycled materials giving new life, purpose and beauty to things others would rather send to the landfill.

Shell of its Former Self started life as a sphere, and is my best example of letting the artistic process lead

The Rust Collection

• The Box is an experimental piece made from salvaged industrial scrap metal
• Mr. Lowe is a tribute to one of my first mentors, Truman Lowe, who always approached life with a smile on his face.    Constructed of scrap steel and allowed to rust naturally

Juxtaposition

• These pieces represent the juxtapositions of ideas, thoughts, politics, religion; as with many of these concepts, they are identical except for one small element.
