Captivating LED Metal Sculptures

Maker Faire Bay Area 2023

October 13th-22nd

Maker Art & Design

I create LED light sculptures with recycled metal. Using a plasma cutter and welders... i create beautiful wall art and sculptures that reflect light on the walls and ceiling.
I add LEDS with several lighting effects that reflect off grinded textures. Some pieces are interactive as well. I have shown in the Dark Room several times at past Makers.Faires and loved the experience. I am so excited you.are bringing it back!

I am a metal sculpture artist who helps people beautify their homes and workspaces and immerse themselves with color, creativity, and joy. My artistic journey was ignited when a psychic recommended that Ip explore metal sculpture classes. With an inherent passion for the art form, I eagerly enrolled in my first welding class and have been captivated ever since. My artistic mission revolves around playing a part in preserving the planet by transforming recycled metal into captivating and thought-provoking metal art. My artistic style carries an organic essence, reminiscent of nature and the primordial origins of our planet. Adding a finishing touch to each piece, I employs vivid colors infused with various dyes and inks, resulting in bold and brilliant artwork. Drawing inspiration from her numerous visits to Burning Man, I delv into the realm of sculptures that incorporate flames and LED lighting. This passion led me to create a stunning 5-foot metal lotus flower firepit for Siegfried and Roy's residence in Las Vegas. My recent sculpture, a 5 x 9-foot flaming heart sculpture recently shipped to a collector’s home in San Miguel Allende, Mexico. Additionally, I havel completed several notable projects, including corporate sculptures and public artworks showcased throughout the Bay Area and Sacramento. My dedication and relentless pursuit of artistic excellence have garnered recognition, leading to appearances on several morning shows on KCRA, Fox News 40, KXTV, and the Art Infused Life Podcast. I recently co-authored a book called the Creative Lifebook on how to infuse your life with creativity.
