Wonderful Bird, welded by local artist Erika Koivunen

Biography 
I am a scrap metal artist. I am thirty-two years old and began welding thirteen years ago. I received my undergraduate degree in art from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1999. While in college, I was mentored by Wisconsin artist Dr. Evermor, a well-known scrap collector and artist. Since then I've been building large, commissioned art pieces for local businesses and individuals, as well as creating collections of work for local people, shops and galleries.
