More about J.K. Brown:

I’ve always wanted to be an artist. As a child I used my imagination for entertainment. I drew, painted and made things, nothing made me quite so happy. The natural world is of constant inspiration for me. In it I see a resource which seems endless. Scrap metal appeals to me particularly because of its abundance, low price and versatility.
