About the Artist
I like to say that my art career began with an oven rack. About nine years ago, I was in dire need of an oven rack for a turn-of-the-century oven in a turn-of-the-century house my husband and I had purchased.  During the welding class I took to make the rack, I had an ephipany, a true moment, where I found something that I loved doing. It still excites and motivates me everyday. I often think that because I found this calling later in life, I appreciate it more than had I actually studied art in college. The joy I get from the freedom to create something that pleases myself and others still surprises me.  
 
I am a native Floridian, one who still lives and loves the place I was born  in. Everyday, I am blown away by the beauty that surrounds me. I use the paradise I live in as inpiration and subject matter for my work.  Lucky me.  I hope you enjoy it as well.  Wake up and live!! 


The creative process

For an idea on how I work, below are a few before and after pictures of a custom gate I created. Each piece begins with a drawing on the metal, then is cut out with a plasma cutter and ultimately MIG welded together.
