Artist's Biography From an early age I learned the arts of building, carpentry, plumbing from my grandfather; the art of vehicle repair from my father. I’ve always been a tinkerer, fixer, inventor. My most recent foray into the arts is working scrap and recycled metal into eclectic, fun sculptures, gates, lamps and other useful things. Visit my website Scrap To Sculpture for more examples of what I create (and what I fix)
