-JohN-

As a self-taught metal artist, I combine the skills I learned from my father with my education in Drafting and Mechanical Engineering to create unique and inspiring pieces of art. It all started with dabbling in metal art while working in industrial supply houses and machine shops during school and has evolved into a passion for creating custom pieces for clients. I pride myself on attention to detail and exceeding expectations, all while staying true to my roots in the oilpatch.
