I attribute my creative expression to the freedom that being unschooled allowed. Since then, I've created over 15 public sculptures and hundreds of gallery pieces, exhibited in the top art festivals, have artwork around the world and won multiple awards. I choose steel for it's industrial durability and infinite malleability. Though recently I've explored the organic medium of wood.
Being a professional artist has been challenging by working 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, in adverse weather, solving problems where there is no precedent. But I am rewarded by beautifying the world and impacting people with my progeny – art.
I believe the foundational value of being human is creative expression.
