I am a 5th generation artist. Growing up, I watched my father and grandfather weld. My great grandfather was the town blacksmith. There was nothing those men couldn’t imagine or create. As a kid, I drew up plans for a 3 wheeled recumbent bike before there was such a thing.  Shared the dream with my grandfather and it wasn’t a month later we were riding it all over the neighborhood. My heritage is rich, my life is blessed.  

It is hard to describe the simple pleasure in seeing potential in found, unusable scrap, then combining non-related pieces into something that brings life back into junk.
