The name of my art studio is 5 Elements Art Studio. Located in rural Wisconsin. I paint, design and build custom furniture. I'm also a stained glass.

As a young boy I started my creativity by building a motorized go-cart out of discarded junk. Every day I drove that thing around the neighborhood through back alleys and city sidewalks. One hot summer afternoon a cop saw me and gave me a ticket for driving without a license. In juvenile court the judge reamed me out for building such a dangerous thing and demanded I dismantle the go-cart. 

It was that day in court that I decided when I got to be an adult I would produce many works of art and no one could tell me what, or what not I could create.

I look for ways to express myself through works of art--be it a painting, cabinet or furniture making or stained glass. There is always something on my mind to build. And I am always open to doing commissioned works.
