From the Sketch Book



Copper Boat on top of glass cast to look like Gladys the House Bound Diva Alligator. This is from my sketch book of ideas - it's a project that will allow me to take what I have learned from casting glass and combining with my metal work.
I have two copper boats in the Auburn Old Town Gallery for sale - one large and small both both boats sit on a base of stone.

About Me

I have always had an interest in art, focusing mostly on illustration and computer graphics for many years. After moving to Auburn I started taking welding at Placer School for Adults and then became an instructional aide, where I discovered I had a passion for working with metal. With the exception of a few joints most of my pieces are held together by tension, using copper or silver wire that I have flattened. I form each piece into a unique work of art using my imagination as I work the metal and wire together. I have begun incorporating glass into some of my pieces, feeling that when glass is added, it brings out the emotions that are hidden in the metal. I love “the fact I can help the metal find a life of its own, whether it’s steel, copper, brass or found metal.”
