About the Artist:
My concepts vary, but depending on my target audience. If I'm targeting a broad audience, I try to use recognizable imagery. My father always says "We're in Canada Nile, everybody loves the moose." Let's just say he makes a lot of moose. If my audience is smaller or I'm experimenting, I tend to create edgier content, including mummification and topless portraitures. A lot of inspiration for my pieces also comes from pop culture, the human figure and even friends and family. In short form however I feel that day truly motivates the piece.

As an artist, I hope to create content that most people can relate to, and creates an emotional response in the viewer. and it's something they can see putting in their home. The nice thing about working with steel is that my statement can last a lifetime. Ultimately, if a person connects with a piece enough to take it home I feel I have succeeded as an artist.
