Mechadillo
I am a combat veteran creating sculptures from scrap metal and discarded industrial gears. This is one of my most treasured pieces of art and my submission for the 2019 National Veterans Creative Arts Festival held annually by the Veterans Administration. I used gears and spark plugs and chain for this armadillo. Creating art and music has made a significant impact in my life and it continues to be a positive outlet for me during this time.
