Picture this... Live-wire Portraits Mobiles shadow-draw wiry wall displays. In décor color lighting, fanned in swivel suspension they produce ever-changing, dynamic environments. Mirrored, they appear as 3D computer animation images. I hand form these wire drawings quickly, in space without limits by a single wire from life or custom concept. As a theme event designer and live art performance artist, my images and designs have attracted more publicity, higher attendance and greater results from images used in advertising and displays.
