I love making sculptures with steel. I like to see the differences when you find a rusty piece of metal and turn it into a beautiful piece of art. Most of my inspiration comes from nature. The way that things naturally are like trees, rocks, rivers, sky, and water falls. I enjoy the patterns that they make. I use them to create my designs with rhythm, patterns and geometrical shapes.
