| After a wonderful two month trip to Europe, I returned to enroll at the crucible and took 'The Art of the Chair' and 'Blacksmithing'. I then attended The College of San Mateo’s welding program for 'Craftsmen and Artist'. During my course, I was fortunate that a friend who saw my first chair commissioned me to create their bar. There is nothing like the feeling of installing your first piece of art. It’s like leaving a piece of your heart My furniture and limited edition art works have given me great pleasure and feeling of success and pride in my work. I am currently creating a sculpture series which will include functional and abstract pieces that portray a sense of honoring oneself and/or loved ones. They all tell a life story. I have a vision that through my art, meaningful relationships are created and this encourages us all to discover more about ourselves. I am looking forward to new opportunities to grow, expand and express myself artistically, and as a person. I believe the mixture of my self expression and sharing my artistic gifts with you, will be the “secret” of our success! JC |
