    I have 20 years experience in teh "Lost Wax" method of casting bronze along with 12 years experience working in commercial art foundries. At my Phoenix studio I hae constructed all teh necessary equipment (wax, furnace, burnout, slurryroom, metal chasing, fabrication, and patina) to produce, cast and fabricate my work.
