Hello, and thank you for visiting my website. I am interested in creating fine art in metal for display in both public and private spaces. My major influences include industrial, modern and graphic design.
Born and raised on the Oregon Coast, I was encouraged by my family to express my artistic interests. An aunt who is a professional artist and a grandparent with a deep appreciation for the natural world were particularly influential in my early explorations. While I was in grade school, many weekends were spent working on art projects together.
For the past 17 years the Eugene-Springfield area has been my home. I am currently employed as a welder/steel fabricator.
I use the term "erganic
If you have any questions or inquiries, please contact me.
