When I was a kid, I was always fascinated by how things went together. When I began this line of work, the opportunity to recreate elements of that wonderful machine that we know as nature came to me.
The years I've been with Andy have been an educational experience as well; being a small company, the Studio is a microcosm of the business and cultural world: it has given me further insight on how people and the world tick.

I’ve been working at the studio since 1994. Metal work has always fascinated me, so I attended Gaston College for two years in the field of Metals Technology. Andy and I were introduced by a mutual friend. He was searching for an apprentice.
Our love of nature and creative spirits connected, and so the relationship began. There is much comraderie among the three of us, and we work well together. The work is very rewarding. I enjoy all of the processes of making the sculpture and seeing the finished pieces. The smiles on our customers' faces make all the time it takes worthwhile.

I've been working at the studio since 1997, when I was introduced to Andy by a mutual friend. Before coming to work with Andy I worked at a large commercial pottery in Hickory for 10 years. I was familiar with all the aspects of production in an artist’s field of work, from the purchasing of raw materials to the end product, which was sold to various galleries and in the retail store location at the plant. The only difference was the type of art medium.
As the years have gone by the small group of individuals at the studio continue to work together and have grown into somewhat of a small family. The work is very rewarding to all involved.
