Ever since I was young, I have enjoyed art and making things with my hands. In high school I started looking into different trades. I signed up for a welding class my senior year and found I really loved it. Throughout the semesters I finished my work quickly and used my free time in class to work on different projects. Inspired by scrap metal artists I saw on social media, I decided to make an animal - a Great Horned Owl. I found I really enjoyed making sculptures. Now combining my love of both art and welding, I explore creating different birds and animals from reclaimed metal.
