about the artist
In 2012 when my neighbor gave me his old welder, I had no idea how to weld or cut metal. Determined to learn, I watched YouTube tutorials and read as much as I could about welding processes and fabrication.
On February 1, 2013, I sold my first art pieces: a hand-cut series of sheet metal broken hearts, mended back together with leather, barbed wire, and other unlikely “thread.” The public’s reaction to my work was inspiring, and my “mended heart” series sold out in one night!
Back then, I was a full-time complex business litigation attorney, struggling to find time to create late at night or on weekends.
I no longer practice law full time, which has afforded me more flexibility and energy to create. I’ve never felt so free, so full of life, and so authentically me. There’s no turning back now.
Metal is still my favorite medium, but experimenting with and challenging other construction materials and obscure mediums has pushed my creative boundaries in ways I never imagined.
For me, creating is a trust fall. A leap of faith. It’s digging deep, opening up, and listening. It’s being vulnerable. Creating from my heart and soul means there are no boundaries or limits to what I can do. It’s one of the scariest but most rewarding things I’ve ever done. Sharing my work with you is an honor, so thank you for visiting.
