Artist's Statement:
Creating color on metal by applying chemicals is a magical process. My passion for it grows with time. Being a part of this process that is somewhat uncontrollable only increases the desire to do more.
My designs are influenced by nature, architecture and science and are derived from my desire to experiment with geometric shapes, texture and color and how these elements relate to and contrast with each other. All my work is waxed with Renaissance wax for protection. Mine is living art, and severe changes to light intensity, temperature and humidity may affect the color.
