Greetings From Mississippi!
 

I am a sculptor who lives in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. In addition I am an art professor and the Sculpture Area Coordinator at the University of Southern Mississippi here in town. I teach iron casting, fabrication skills, including various types of welding and other basic metal working skills. I also teach wood shop and anything else that needs teaching.

I am currently working on large outdoor sculpture commission for the Mississippi Museum of Art in Jackson.

I am integrating more sheet metal into my own work and incorporating it into our studios here at the university as well. We will soon have our first English wheel! I have so much to learn and so many projects on my list that I want to do. In sheet metal I work in mild steel and stainless, but hope to incorporate aluminum as well.

I recently met Kerry at our shops where I gave him the nickle tour and he turned me on to this site. What a fantastic resource can't wait to get into all the forum topics!

Welcome Jen. It was a pleasure meeting you and James and seeing your facility yesterday. I'm really excited about working with you.

Jen, welcome and thanks for the great introduction. If you get down on the coast you are welcome to visit my shop, I am in Pass Christian. If you want to try one of Kerrys big wheels I have one available for you to test drive. Lots of other equipment for you to see and try. Thanks for joining us.

Hi Jen, Great project, I like to see how artistic people use these skills to be creative. I wish I had more time for artistic stuff but all my time is taken up. Kerry has done some good sculpures including a complete life size aluminium girl (or is it a mermaid Kerry?) anyway its really well done.

Welcome aboard Jen!

I may just take you up on that some day! I hear you have a great place down there. Cheers!

Jen, sent you a PM.
