Metal Flower Sculptures

My background in metalsmithing has found a new application in my welded steel flowers. These creations fuse my love of the Alaska native blossoms that naturally grow all around my home with my passion for welding and forming metal. These steel flowers are fashioned with sheet metal from discarded oil drums and salvaged fasteners, making them a form of reused and recycled artwork that requires no new materials.
