I enjoy designing pieces and then making them happen. I don't create for anyone but myself, so there’s no pressure. I do enjoy others’ response to my art, but it doesn't influence me one way or the other for the next piece. I have been doing metal art since 1971, over 30 years now. If I weren't able to create I would probably loose my sanity. It is a part of me, like breathing. I really don't have a choice, but to create. I want my art to make people think. If I create a piece that means something to me, it usually means something totally different to everyone else. Most of what I do comes from an emotion. Hopefully it will mean a lot to the person it ends up with. It will evoke an emotion or a thought or maybe just a smile. That's fine with me.
