Welcome To My Blog

Not only is Seth Apter a talented artist but he is also very generous with his time in helping to promote other artists through endeavors such as The Pulse and Buried Treasure. So if you've found me through those posts....welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy the visit and leave a message. I’d love to hear from you.

Someone recently asked me about the steel shelves on the walls around my back yard. I mentioned them when I discussed my process in Ricë Freeman Zachery's Creative Spark. They wanted to know if I made other stuff with steel and the answer is yes I do. Welding is kind of addicting. Anyway I thought I'd share some of the other steel items I’ve made and collected that are starting to take over my house.

If you look at my artwork you'll know I like rocks. Here I've made them into candle holders.

This rolling gate closes off the entry to my studio. A painted steel kimono hangs on it.

More candle holders. These sit in the fireplace on a large steel I-beam.

Some times I get carried away and wrap the walls.

Steel table with rock basket base.

Found objects.

Drill bit bouquet. The steel vase is part of some farm equipment.

Every metal artist has their pile of rusted junk.

The trellis makes wonderful shadows.

Concrete and steel patio dining table. Yes it's really heavy but it's on wheels.

The amazing Arizona sunset.

Doesn't that cloud look like a fire breathing dragon?

Thanks for visiting.
