| Stewart |
Born from strong geometric patterns, curves and angles that find their natural flow from being layered
together, his work creates a strong three-dimensional effect, even in his wall pieces. Assembling pre-cut
pieces of steel, he organizes their placement until shapes and forms slowly evolve that pleases his eyes and
the feeling of the moment. Stewart tells his story with childlike simplicity, generosity, and love. His “Little
People” - the figures adorning most of his pieces, are worked with torch and tool while the metal is melting.
Made one by one from welding rods of various thicknesses, the pieces have individual forms and characters
that reflect the mood of the artist. Acid etching contrast of shine and rust add depth and dynamism to the
work, suggesting skies, clouds, and the vast expanses of the Arizona landscape. Light plays on the layered
surfaces, to add even more possibilities.

Stewart discovered welding while attending an art appreciation class at the Phoenix
College. Although music was his focus and passion, he chose to create a toy truck
at his brother’s welding shop when requested to bring to class something that
displayed his interests. Since then, he’s never looked back: today his work is held in
many private collections in Europe and The United States. Stewart’s art has evolved
from realistic to southwestern, Native American faces and symbols, to abstraction.
