Sculpture

Creating art has saved my soul and allowed me to live again. As an Iraqi War veteran that came home injured and emotionally broken, finding my niche in the art world in which I can express myself has given me a new lease on life. It has shown me that, although my road had more hills and curves than I ever thought possible, there is always a way. I found my way to sculpture through parlaying my experiences as an Army welder into expressing how I see the world. My installations allow audiences to experience and move within the art. Painting is sorbet the between creation of my sculptures and installations; it makes it easy for me to clear my mind from the extensive planning and execution my sculpture demands from me, which grants me greater freedom of expression.
