Spring Brookdale 2024
My goal is to put life in focus for the viewer and using wire, I create 1-12-inch-high miniature works of art. I use individual and sometimes, combined lines of wire to give my work depth and weight. While creating, I feel as if I'm drawing in mid-air. Using my self-taught technique, Lonnetrix, I create pieces that hopefully will have a positive impact on the viewer, even if, in the form of just a simple smile on their faces. I can create a simple monkey hanging in a tree to the most elaborate of cityscapes. Anything is possible. Folks often wonder how I know when I'm done. Well, I am the first to view all my new works. So, when I can no longer recognize my medium as wire, I know the project is complete.
