The Artist’s Statement:

All works are original and unique; designed and executed by the artist--

Though all pieces do not necessarily make a “statement”, they do all reflect the artist’s philosophy of

simplicity and practicality as well as a great respect of heritage, culture and history and hence make the ultimate

statement.

 

The Artist’s Belief:

We are here to learn--

To improve ourselves on every level and to share our knowledge and thus make our world a better place--

This is our obligation to ourselves, our peers and to the future--We achieve this through refining what we do and in

how we do this--

Replace the chaos and disorder with organization--We improve or die--If we are not part of the solution, we

are indeed the problem—

Nothing is complete or truly gratifying without hard work--This is the only way to learn to understand

“passion,” and to achieve excellence, whether racing motorcycles, walking steel, loving, forming metal, whatever--

What we have when we leave this place is far less significant than what we leave behind—
