Artist Statement:
 
When I hear the word art I think of painting or drawing. That is something that I am not good at. So, to me I create. I’m not saying that painting and drawing isn’t creating.  As a young boy I was always intrigued on how things worked as well as not having very much money. So, when something would break, I would simply just take it apart and look. I was amazed at how easily I could fix it. And it didn’t cost a thing. Fast forward 30 years I am now someone who can see use in everything. It boggles my mind at what is tossed in the trash and how it can be used in a creative way. I started out making wind chimes and gifts for family and friends. To me a hand made gift is the best gift, it comes from the heart and when it brings tears to someone’s eyes it is a very joyful feeling. The art world is a new place for me, and I am very excited to create my way through it and send out as many joyful tears as I can.
