What is your favorite type of art to create?

Artistry in iron. Handrail for stairs outdoors where passersby and neighbors can enjoy. Custom ornamental fences are great to show off and will last for many generations. I also enjoy using scrap pieces and putting something together in a short time. I’ve made numerous large spiders that I give away.

Where do you find inspiration?

I enjoy a contemplation meditation and ask the surrounding community and Mother Earth what would be welcome, functional, shared and complimentary. Just talking with a person that I get to help stirs inspiration. The surrounding area I hope to accent with care.

What would you do with $25,000?

Buy some iron, consumables, primer and go about my neighborhood asking if neighbors would let me install handrail, especially for elderly or disabled people.
