What is your favorite type of art to create?

Abstract transformative sculpture. Tools jewelry. Metal, copper, silver, bronze steele. Tig weld, solder, blacksmith. Metal is infinite don't have the tool, make the tool. I strive for 100% reclaimed material and transform it into what I need

Where do you find inspiration?

Life experience, the world. The metal tells you what it wants to be. You just have to listen. It is alive when it is molten.

What would you do with $25,000?

Improve my studio. Life expenses, family. I've got two amazing kids. It makes it hard to do my art and provide. I need to do both so this would mostly go to help in that.
