ArtMetal

A quick look around this site is quite inspiring, such beautiful and technically pleasing works.

This being my first post here I thought I'd just ramble a little about myself. I come from a long line of metal workers dating back to the 1700's. I carry on that tradition with a new twist, adding an artistic element to the functional metal.

I am the director of a small but growing artists collective outside of Berkeley Springs, WV. We are a group of 6 working artists, focusing on forged and welded iron in both functional and sculptural elements, pottery and ceramic sculpture, fused and stained glass, and of course combined/communal/collaborative works. Our work is represented in about a dozen galleries and shops including Tamarack in WV, and Don Drumm in Akron. We have participated in dozens of Gallery shows and accept commissions from both private and public art collectors.

I am new to this community and have placed a number of images of my work in various sections of the galleries here, including the architectural gallery, furniture gallery and the sculptural section.

Please take a look around at my work and feel free to comment. Any helpful hints about using this site would also be appreciated.
