I am a welder and fabricator by trade, but for many years I have been expressing myself with creative metal art sculptures.  Some of my art is made from recycled and discarded items and some of my work is made out of newly purchased materials.  My favorite pieces that I enjoy to create are mechanical and kinetic art, whether it has a use and is functional or just something to watch "do nothing".  I see beauty in moving mechanical parts that are in machines of our everyday lives and is a lot of my inspiration and motivation for creating new works of art that I can incorporate these ideas, motions and movements into.
