27% (Sold)



As a baby I was burned by hot grease. The left side of my chest is a large scar and I was told I would never use my left hand again. I was burned over 27% of my body. I made this piece about this incident. I reticulated the copper which causes it to have ripples and waves like my scars...

Queimadura $1500


One of my first 3D pieces. Queimadura means burn in Portuguese. I named it that because it looked like fire to me and I am part Portuguese. It helps me to remember my grandfather.

Gloaming (Sold)

The time between sunset and dark.






My first piece

But not really. I have grown up with art my whole life and have been making little things since I could hold a torch. But this is my first piece in my first step in to the art world as an adult. I was inspired by Escher. The way things changed from one thing to another. Birds to land and fish and wanted to see if I could do sort of that in metal. As it stands it looks like the last few pieces of a puzzle being put together. Guess that is a good analogy for the budding artist though...

I kept this piece and it is currently hanging in my kitchen...

Before Coloring

I made this one a while back and sold it before a I even got a good picture of it. It was awesome to sell it but I still wish I could have had a good pic or even name it...
