I filled each field or smoke cloud with a different item. Some of the items also cast a reflection of their color onto the white board. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618db2f58ea85119a2a6a3f7/5ea39dc2-2c12-4a14-8aa6-c3f402c7b1d5/leopard.jpg Home “Snow Leopard” Aluminum on wood covered with epoxy. 30” x 30” In this piece I wanted to use the negative space (the white background) as part of the image. I wanted to depict the snow leopard coming out of a background of snow. I think it works well for this camouflaged hunter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618db2f58ea85119a2a6a3f7/6976d03f-6fec-4cb1-b074-b38877cdc5d5/tempImageU56OcY.jpg Home “Kite Table” 36”x 36”. Aluminum and copper on wood covered with epoxy . This was an old discarded table that I repurposed. I removed the old laminate top. It then took a lot of sanding to get rid of the glue and get to the wood. I painted it white and made this geometric design. It is called “Kite Table” because all the geometric shapes are made up of a traditional kite shape like the yellow ones you see in the corners. The larger shapes are made up of two or four kites together. I added some additional design elements like the small black kites in the corners and the black dots. I used a copper wire to create a boarder in order to frame the design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618db2f58ea85119a2a6a3f7/0d7cdeb9-f8bb-4e87-94ca-018030114318/DSC_2696.JPG Home “Clementine” Aluminum on wood. 26” x 15” x 3” This was an old distressed relief carving in a large block of wood that I purchased at an auction. I wanted to give this piece a new life, so I covered the figure in aluminum can pieces. With her new aluminum body she really stands out from the wood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618db2f58ea85119a2a6a3f7/5c952c84-718d-4ac7-903a-e5d70686fb4f/Privatelife.jpg Home “Private Life” Aluminum and scrabble tiles on wood, covered with epoxy. 36” x 36” This piece was inspired by a song with the same name. I wanted to explore some private ideas that one might hold in their mind. I wanted to create an image where the ideas, thoughts, or memories are either coming into the mind or leaving the mind. The double face creates a conflict of what different voices in ones head want to reveal to the world. One voice may want to say something to the world, but then another voice says”shhh”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618db2f58ea85119a2a6a3f7/4c65e141-13d7-4667-ad37-c98640235853/BeautyBeasts+copy.jpg Home “Beauty and the Beasts” Aluminum and glass beads on wood, covered with epoxy. 36” x 12”. The idea for this piece came from watching someone being unfairly criticized . I made the figures small because their ugly attacks makes them small in character. I also purposefully made them black silhouettes so that they would lack any character or definition. The position of the two attackers on either side of the dragonfly creates a frame around the dragonfly and pushes the viewers eye towards the middle and the most beautiful part of the image. https://www.leonginart.com/about daily 0.75 2025-11-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618db2f58ea85119a2a6a3f7/40751264-695a-4409-ae73-c13ae6b3e78c/StormsStork+copy.jpg About & Contact - Make it stand out “Storm’s Stork” 36” x 12” Aluminum and glass beads on wood, covered with epoxy.

The more colorful and outrageous the bird species the more it lends it self to the medium of brightly colored metal cans.
