Sense-Stations installation at lake vista park, oak creek wi
The Sense-Stations installation was on display at Lake Vista Park, Oak Creek Wisconsin from June-September 2019.
Each bench was positioned towards a direction on the compass. Visitors would sit on each bench and make notes of their senses when facing each direction. The notes were left in the lock box and later posted to my Twitter account. Nearly 150 people left some kind of reply. The installation was part of Newaukee's Confluence Event.
The colors used were determined from researching Native American lore. More information about colors here.

friends of hank aaron state trail
I was asked to create a replica of the transit stop Milwaukee once used for the streetcars. Using the measurements from a display on the side of the one at Catalano Square, 3rd Ward, I built it as close to scale as possible.
The vessel was then used by The Friends of the Hank Aaron State Trail to collect donations during fundraisers.

Here is the Transit Shelter replica on display at the Art on the Trail meeting.
patio/garden
I'm a big fan of patio time. Part of the experience is listening to my favorite music. Outdoor speakers are made to take on the elements but, Wisconsin weather gets a bit extreme. So, I decided I would create a shelter for my speakers. Not just a shelter, artwork.
Tackle Box - Grill
A tackle box converted to a grill. It's totally functional!
The stripe work is one of my first.
