I am a sculptor working in metal and glass. Sometimes singly, sometimes together. I find the simple expression of material to be visually pleasing, and often the stuff I have on hand will nudge my creative process. If the resulting piece awakens my visual sense with wonder, that counts as art for me.
I’ve arrived at sculpting after a heady and enjoyable journey through corporate life. I worked my whole career, twenty-seven years, at JPMorgan and all of that on its trading floors. So making art - and the solitude that accompanies it - are a striking counterpoint to the addictive buzz of life in the markets.
The short story reads like this: as an avid gardener I developed an interest to make large-scale metal art to add to the whimsy in my yard. My son, who was (and is) restoring a classic Alfa Romeo taught me how to weld; I followed this with a semester at the Silvermine School of Art. Many moons, more tools, much practise, the steady acquisition of technique (mostly from other artists and artisans) and I had learned much of what goes into my art now.
I like to use recycled steel whenever possible and I scavenge actively to collect old metal - there’s little more satisfying than cutting up and creating art from, say, an old corn planter.
Patina, texture and light fascinate me and play engaging roles in my sculptures.
My wife (an art photographer among her other talents) and I collect the works of (mainly) American craftspeople - glass makers, ceramicists, wood-workers, textile artists, sculptors - and seek out contemporary art, often at Sculpture parks. So making art is its own reward. Sharing it is even better.

For Linda's Dining Table5.0Dinsa is a master craftsman and a total delight to work with. He is warm, welcoming and has a keen artist's eye. He consulted with me every step of the way and met all his deadlines. I couldn't be more thrilled with my unique and fabulous dining room table. It truly is a masterpiece. If you get the opportunity to work with Dinsa, don't think twice, I highly recommend him. He's a real gem.

For Marris' End Table5.0The table Dinsa created for me is beautiful. I found him very easy to work with. He was open to my ideas, as well as providing detailed ideas of his own. He was prompt with his responses and provided pics of several samples for me to chose from. Great experience all round.
Highly recommend! - PR

For Salvaged Steel Side Tables5.0I am very happy with my finished product. Dinsa was easy to work with, communicated well and the product was delivered pretty quickly considering it was quite an involved project. There are some small things I i did not communicate well, such as the finish of the desk top and the fit of the glass for the end table tops. However, the craftsmanship for the metal pieces was excellent. Dinsa is very creative and and the finished product is very original and exactly what i had in mind.
