The First Five Years:

I am humbled to share the beginning of my journey.  I am extremely proud of how I have grown as a self tough welder and artist.

I am grateful for the amazing people who have encouraged me and supported my craft.

It's 2020!

This is officially the start of my fifth year of welding fun.  I still love creating and already have custom orders to dream up.  

This year I am planning on creating bigger pieces and not doing as many shows.  To me it is fun hunting for old rusty metal to make my pieces come to life.  Please stay tuned and follow me on Instagram and Facebook for the latest updates.

2019 has been an exciting year!  My small business keeps growing! 

As well as having new items, I was fortunate to have several custom orders and was able to build my biggest piece to date.  

The most exciting news is that I won second place in the metal category at the Calgary Stampede " Western Showcase Creative Arts and Crafts ". 

I am extremely fortunate and grateful that people are still loving the rust and my flower creations.

I have finally reached the point where my creative style is recognized by name!  How exciting!

This year I have added sculptures that incorporate antique wagon wheels and dragonflies.  I have ventured from the flower garden for the first time with cattails.  I am thrilled that they have received great response.  I can say that the amount of metal work that I do now can no longer be considered a side project and I love it!  Thank you to all the wonderful people that I have met along the way and especially a great big THANK YOU for people who support my art with their hard earned money.

 I am excited and grateful for all of the wonderful response I receive at exhibitions and on my website!  My collection is continually evolving.  Adding sculptures for indoor decorating, much larger pieces, as well as adding butterflies.  I am also dabbling with wall hangings and plant supports.

 After patiently waiting, the garden is finally starting to look nice!  I'm happy to include some pictures!  

I have also expanded my collection!

Besides having flower bed spikes, I have also created "Stubbies" that are smaller, shorter versions for flower pots.  As well I have created some much larger sunflowers that will be available through special orders.  If you would like more info on those please feel free to contact me.

I hope that you will enjoy my flowers in your garden as much as I did creating them!

I've always enjoyed garden art.  It's too bad that my idea for " The Garden Collection " came to me during the midst of winter.  I always have a seed catalog handy during the coldest time of the year and dream about what I will plant when spring finally appears.

Unfortunately, this time of year I do not have a nice flower bed to exhibit my sculptures the way I had envisioned but that is the reality of an Alberta winter.
