Illustrative faith-based art woven with stories of hope, peace, and encouragement.

"But ask the animals, and they will teach you..." -Job 12:7 NIV

Metals

Each sculpture is crafted and welded by hand. The roses are created using locally sourced steel, while the rest of my metal art is primarily recycled scrap metal. I love the idea of giving dead material "new life" -- much like what Jesus did for us!

Paintings

My art career began with painting when I studied art at UW-L and worked primarily with oil paint. Since then, I have discovered my love for watercolor, acrylic and alcohol ink.
