I have always been an artist. As a freshman in college, I picked up a MIG welder gun for the first time and learned how to weld. Growing up, I had never even mowed our lawn so working with power tools was all new to me. Metal sparked my interest!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
In class I introduce the tools of the studio by welding and cutting metal. We begin by making the parts for two leaves and welding them together. Sculpting has commenced! In my work I incorporate concepts that center around pathways, growth, connectors and movement. I will work with you around a theme that captures your interests as a starting point to making your art.
More advanced? If you are interested in building a specific project contact us and we’re happy to arrange for materials and the space to make your dream a reality.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a sculptor with experience creating site-specific, large-scale public artwork. I am inspired to create artwork based on the familiar objects that one may view on a daily basis. I have over a decade of experience in creating outdoor sculptures, interior gallery and privately commissioned art works. The large scale work ranges in complexities, adding sculpture to a smokestack to freestanding work that weighs more than two tons.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
A private lesson is $90 for three hours. I prefer to work with students who can comitt to taking class for 4-6 weeks so that a finished piece can be created. Safety goggles, earplugs and materials will be provided.
