As a young blacksmith shoeing horses during the late 70's and early 80's, I discovered an alchemy connection with metal. I have combined traditional blacksmithing techniques with state of the art technology to make Metal Sculpture a priority for over 25 years.
Today I create Metal sculptures from the original Blacksmith shop in Clarksburg, within the historic Blue Mountains region of Ontario. There, I am immersed in and inspired by nature, sport and the diversity of the Great Lakes. Additionally, I actively participate in adventure and extreme sports along the backbone of the province, the Niagara Escarpment.
Movement and fluidity define my artistic creations. My sculptures are designed and created to explore the viewer's emotional connection to places, moments and iconic symbolism. These life-size and large-scale installations, forged from iron and stainless-steel, have defined championship trophies, civic spaces, commercial and residential properties worldwide.
Art reflects life. Not always easy to understand. One moment soft and fluid, the next tearing through the unconscious, occasionally triggering deeply buried emotions. My legacy is to inspire contemplation.

The Metal Art Sculptures I create are an interpretation of nature, sport and our imagination. These sculptures are for discerning clients with vision. They are both a personal expression and a public statement. My Art is "Not for the Unadventurous"
I believe that art is a contract between the artist and the participant, in which the participant's state of emotion is briefly altered.
I want you to feel a personal connection to the sculptural imagery and engage in conversation about it. From introduction to installation, my methodical process keeps you informed and connected as the custom sculpture is created for your unique space.
Initially, I invite you to my studio where we have a 15-30 minute discussion about your desires. During this time I will show you various examples of metal colours, textures and styles which can be incorporated into your sculpture.
First, we come to a clearer idea of what is possible, the scope of the project and your budget. I may make

First, we come to a clearer idea of what is possible, the scope of the project and your budget. I may make some suggestions for you to take home and consider before moving forward.
The commission, once accepted, continues from our initial meeting with a 2-way dialogue, further exploring your ideas and emotions towards the piece or pieces. This allows you to be fully involved in the creative process, resulting in a sculpture that will inevitably evoke curiosity, discussion, reflection and pride.
