About The Artwork

Put this sculpture in your garden, the window of your house, in public, or be creative with it. The piece will last for a very long time, being made from steel, and the coating was applied after proper cleaning of the surface to ensure durability. The coatings used are rated to last 20 years outside, and an extra layer of enamel has been added to the sculpture for protection. The metal tree branches are forged in a spiral taper giving it an interesting texture, and the shape of the limb is also formed in an outstretched spiral. The creatures sitting in the tree could be a combination of animals put together or whatever you imagine. The tree could be underwater, perhaps you put it into an aquarium, Perhaps its in the pond, on the porch, use it to put hats on, or let plants grow up it. I could even see retrofitting it to hold candles, or platforms for plants to sit on, this is a relatively simple, yet well put together, strongly welded, and ground smooth forged steel sculpture. Aquatic theme suits this piece well. The legs/stand of the sculpture allow for it to be secured to the ground, or rocks could be placed on the curved parts at the base. Very lively, yet simple solid forged parts welded together, and coated with a metal based paint, and acid patina with blue pigment mixed in, finished with clear enamel rated for 20 years, but could be touched up every 5 years to prevent more rust or chipping, although sometimes the extra rusting can gain character rather than lose beauty, I tend to enjoy the ageing process of these sculptures.

By traveling parts of the United States and a few other countries, I have gained much through lived experiences. There are many places I'd like to visit, and much more I'd like to learn. I have created metal sculptures throughout the years and in various locations. I take pleasure in many other activities such as crafts, trades, research, painting, tagging, writing, thinking of screenplays, hiking, camping, visiting with friends, playing or watching people play music, making art, and spending time with family. I deeply enjoy being connected with nature, growing things, and watching them grow. . . this is medicine in and of itself - soil isn't dirty, we spend time in the dirt to be clean, I believe. I love making organically shaped, nature-inspired, and funky sculptures using steel, iron, and metallic paints. I dream of using glass to incorporate elements of mystery and liquid in contrast to the solid metal textures. I've developed my own methods and processes of carving metal with a cutting torch, while touching my face and head for anatomical reference and to stimulate my imagination. Using this technique, I have carved faces, heads, and mystical creatures inspired by observing the shapes of my own body. I have made furniture and garden art, swords, knives, shovels, garden hoes, fire pokers, scythes, pickaxes, fantasy weapons, and all sorts of things during what I call an experience of "art addiction."
