I design, create, and weld contemporary, monumental sculpture. Steel is my preferred medium. I’m attracted to this material because of its physical qualities and characteristics. Steel is all at once tactile, solid, smooth, rigid, flexible, permanent, and malleable.

Geometrical shapes and patterns hold great interest for me. Linear planes and crisp angles impose a certain order in a world filled with chaos. Geometry describes the beauty inherent to all things on our planet, in our solar system, and beyond.
