I am an Industrial Artist. When I was young, I was trained in traditional art techniques. Painting, Drawing, Direct Sculpture, and then Textiles- including sewing, knitting, crochet, embroidery, weaving, batik, and silkscreen on fabric. As I grew up, I became fascinated by the Industrial and Consumer products around me, and the sheen of “realness” they possessed. “How do they REALLY do it?” became my question. And so, I began to teach myself industrial fabrication techniques, starting with wood and plastics, moving on to metals. -Excerpt from the Artist’s website
