Meet the Artist
![]() |
John first discovered his eye for art in high school Visual
Fundamentals art class. Then he continued to
study art as part of his Architecture degree. After graduating from UNM John
landed a job as an Engineering Designer. It wasn't until 40 years later that he
"retired" from engineering and returned to art. So, after many years of pushing metal to higher performance
it was only natural for John to use metal as his primary media and started
ppsMetalArt.com creating everything from sculptures to unique hand tuned wind
chimes that play chords. Yard art is some of John's more popular work. "The smooth flowing edges take hours to
create, but it is my trademark." Most of John's yard art can be found at the Blue Portal Gift
Shop in Old Town Albuquerque. In addition to yard art, custom art commissions
are also available. Each piece truly is unique in design, appearance and engineering (so much for retiring). |
