    In 1991, with the help of some wonderful farm boys, car mechanics and body shop guys, I was able to use my first torch. I designed, cut out, exhibited and sold my first ever ‘Deva’. I was instantly in love with the medium of recycled steel. I found absolute beauty in rusty patinas and old car springs.
    I began my journey on the same course as most every other artist I know-I worked a full time pantyhose job, managed my home and family (4 awesome sons) and made art in every other available moment.
    In 1996, I formally opened my studio, selling wholesale, attending art and garden sales regionally and employing magical and creative help to assist me.
    Garden Deva studio has evolved into a space for me to create and assemble my work from small Devas that are offered through this website to large gates, fences and furnitures. We also house other artists in the iron working fields of welding and blacksmithing.
