Nature is beautiful and my inspiration for creating my whimsical animal sculptures. I strongly believe in recycling as much as possible so mixed recycled metals are combined using nuts, bolts, screws, and wire. Birds, dogs, cats, insects, rodents, horses, goats, and still others are my models. Taxidermy inspires my construction of washable animal heads or mounted birds. Driftwood, used ceramics and used glassware are often included in construction. Painting is rarely a part of the process so colors are selected from the metal to highlight the sculpture.
