About The Artwork

Steel on gneiss stone. I have always been inspired by space traveling. I grew up watching the Apollo missions and being mesmerized by the images that the crews sent back home. The Blue Marble is an image of Earth taken on December 7, 1972, by the Apollo 17 crew Harrison Schmitt and Ron Evans. To this day, this image amazes me and being able to represent it in my metal sculptures makes me smile.

Known for a long time for my fabric sculptures, a few years ago I decided to move the focus of my sculpting from fabric to metal. I have had a lifelong love of metal art but never felt I knew enough about the challenging techniques of working with metal to move into that medium. Being an artist with a first career in engineering, learning is something I enjoy and so what better way to learn about working with metal than to work with it. I was lucky to have been given a workshop course in welding for artists as a birthday present from my husband. After that I was hooked on welding. There’s nothing more important to me than to work with my hands while learning something new. At the end of a good day in the studio is one that I’ve learned something and created something. I’ve made mistakes but they have resulted in many successes.
