OBJECTIVE
Transforming reclaimed metal into unique possibilities while inspiring the community towards sustainable innovation.
SUMMARY
I am a sculptor currently working with recycled metal; creating fine art and functional design. I aim to inspire people towards responsible environmental change by incorporating elements such as recycled materials, plants, solar & wind power into my art while maintaining humor and accessibility. I have shown professionally in diverse venues in addition to designing & installing commissioned pieces & public art. I am passionate about community connections and I am involved with several non-profit organizations working on creative expression access for low-income youth.
