Anita Edwards

I began my interest in metal in 1997 by taking metal-smithing classes held at a local art center, As a professional photographer for 25 years and with a degree in graphic design, I was anxious to move into an art form that allowed me to express myself in three dimensions, instead of the two dimensional art I had been creating for so long. I have since discovered that my true love is in working with mixed metals to fabricate my creatures. Much of the fun comes from working through the problems of breaking each design down to its simplest form and separate layers to produce a 3-D final design.
