Giant Pacific Octopus
“The Giant Pacific Octopus is a signature piece for me. I have made 19 so far. They have sold well in galleries, and won a peoples choice award last year at the Federal Way Arts Explosion. The arms however have not been durable enough for public art. By adding a 44” diameter ring (stagecoach rim!), the piece will be resistant to vandalism as all the arms will be secured and not extend beyond the rim more than a couple inches. I’d like to let the piece rust for a nice outdoor look.”

Statement:
“My metal artwork is a unique fusion of my passion for bicycling, my engineering background, and my deep connection to the stunning Salish Sea. I specialize in transforming raw, industrial parts into beautiful and inspiring metal sculptures, giving new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded. My bike-inspired art, recycled metal sculptures, and one-of-a-kind art pieces, are crafted with precision and artistic vision.”
