“The first time I used a plasma cutter and welder, I knew I’d found my niche. I work with stainless steel, copper, brass and aluminum, and the techniques I employ vary according to each piece. I love incorporating different textures and colors in my work using heat, patinas, acid treatments, stains and paints… The life of art originates with a vision. It then evolves as I listen to my client, and a design starts to form into something uniquely personal for them. My greatest joy is installing a completed piece: once it becomes part of someone’s life, the process is complete.” |
