Recycled Mixed Metal Sculptures

Whimsical creations mimicking nature constructed from recycled mixed metals using nuts, bolts, and screws.  Designed for the home and garden.
Free-standing creatures from insects to life size humans.  Animal heads honoring the tradition of taxidermy for your walls. 
​ Flying creatures to capture your imagination.
