“Through my career as an artist, an enduring goal has been to share my knowledge, fulfilling a sense of responsibility to pay homage to the tradition of passing down the secrets of metal craftsmanship and sculpture. Imbuing others, particularly young people, with the principles and skills involved in the creation of contemporary metal artwork, is not only rewarding, but it provides an opportunity to learn from the creative process and instincts of individuals beginning to work with the medium. There are prospects for interested people to truly experience the synergy of an artistic relationship with metal and limited options for exposure to the creative economy.”
