“A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind.” Eugene Ionesco wrote. Sage words.

It’s so true, isn’t it? A piece of art can be viewed as something different and interesting by each person. It is thought-provoking. It evokes emotion. It is an incredible vessel for self-expression. It makes each and every one of us feel.

There are so many incredible forms of art, all to be admired, but recently I have stumbled upon something called Metal Art.

What is Metal Art?

Metal Art, also known as Metalworking, is working with metals to create individual sculptures, jewelry, and a wide range of other structures. It takes a lot of skill to be able to safely use all of the tools to create Metal Art, and an incredible imagination to craft Metal Art.

How I Found Metal Art

Meet Sarah Mulligan. Sarah is an amazing artist with a very colorful past who found a way to make beauty out of scraps. She is a mom. She is a wife. She is a daughter. She is a friend. She is a true artist, who was in the right place at the right time.

After staying home for many years, working part-time jobs here and there, her neighbor needed some help bending metal for his successful art business. She had never done it before, but he was willing to show her how. So she tried it.

And she was really, really good at it. She learned from him until she gained the confidence to ask if she could keep the scraps and put together some things on her own. He said absolutely.
