Sculptor | Welder | Mixed Media Artist

I transform discarded materials into stories of resilience, reverence, and renewal.

With a background in welding and over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve spent most of my life shaping metal. What began as industrial work evolved into an art practice rooted in sustainability and imagination. I now create sculptures, installations, and mixed media works that explore the relationship between humans and nature—often using handmade charcoal, berry inks, and salvaged metal.

My process is slow, tactile, and intentional. I collect what others overlook: rusted tools, scraps of wire, plastic debris, fallen branches. These fragments are the starting point for each piece—a conversation between what once was and what could be.

Whether I’m building large outdoor installations, drawing clouds with charcoal I’ve made myself, or sculpting delicate forms from salvaged steel, my goal is always the same: to create something honest, expressive, and alive.

I currently live and work in Alberta, Canada, and my work has been exhibited in galleries, festivals, and public spaces across the province. Through my business, JSG Welding & Mixed Media Art, I offer commissions, decorative gates, custom sculptures, and original collections rooted in environmental awareness and craftsmanship.

Every piece I create is a reminder that beauty can be found in what’s broken, and that transformation is always possible.
