Due to my Vermont frugalness I have never thrown anything away much to the dissatisfaction of my wife of over 30 years. Unique circumstances have blessed my wife Cheryl and me with the pleasure of raising two children with special needs. The experience of living with people of different abilities has heightened my creative senses so that I see things in a different light and try to find value in everything. With this sense of passion, I discover value in everyday items which most people overlook and create these “Oddtiques” or unique metal creations. I recently sold my small general store (The Village Grocery) to devote more time to my adult children and to embark on my journey of making these whimsical metal sculptures.
