I have worked with steel most of my career and get a lot of my inspiration from nature. My forms generally are of an organic nature, giving a new warmth to an otherwise industrial material and process. I work with fire to achieve the plastic state of the material, and with the high temperature of the oxy-acetylene torch, am able to cut and weld the steel into an amazing creation. Through out my career, I have also tried to introduce the public to the process by open studio tours, giving workshops and demonstrations. My sculptures are exhibited locally in the Kootenay Gallery and the Craft Connection Co-operative as well as galleries and museums across Canada; many are included in corporate and private collections.
