Artists Describing Their Art:
Robert Betsworth - I have been an artist all of my life, have worked with metal for many years, and have finally put the two elements together to create my metal artwork. I come from a very artistic family and learned to weld and work with metal early on. l plan to create more pieces, so stay tuned If you are interested in commissioning a piece for you, I am open to discussion....
Daniel Lombardo - My art is first informed by the human figure, its essential vertical presentation with a focus on unique but related frontal and rear views, and the gestalt of interconnected shapes that are both linear and volumetric.
