Background:
John Patterson was born in Monte Vista, CO, attended Fort Lewis College with a degree in Business / Agriculture. He
began turning "scrap" metal into objects de art in the 1980's. Art is his therapy and am inspired not only by the parts
that he uses to create these whimsical sculptures, but also by the passion and hard work the scrap parts represent as a
historical map of the past. His passion for Artworks has been a personal journey and has rewarded him with plenty of
smiles, laughter, and fun. He hopes you can enjoy hia sculptures as much as he do, as I play "Tinkertoys" with my
welder.
