MEET THE ARTIST
Patrick first started bending metal into Functional Art in 1992 while working as a welder in his home town of Des Moines, IA. It didn’t take long for his hobby to draw the eye of the owner at the hip Asian restaurant where he was a bartender in the evenings, resulting in his first real job designing and fabricating 30 tables for their new dining room is not a bad start for someone with no art or design degree. The tables were such a hit, he set up shop in a friend’s garage and began self marketing his unique spin on furniture.
