I grew up in a home that was filled with creativity. My mom could do almost anything, paint ,draw crafts ,wood working you name it. My dad worked with carvings and string designs, always taking on projects just to learn how its done. I grew up taking art and craft class all through school. My very first class involved a live nude model when I was about six, at a class my mom took at BSU. I still remember the instructor telling me I forgot her breasts. I was confused and he drew them in for me. To say the least I have learned and played with many different styles. All have been fun but none have kept my attention like Blacksmithing and metal work. I previously was a fabricator for the simi conductor market for 22 years. Where keeping supper high tolerances and great detail were a way of life. This skill has definitely helped in my pursuit of making high quality metal work of my own. Now I have the joy that moves me and those that it touches.
