Don Jones
Specialty: Mixed Media
Creating art and sculptures has been a lifelong passion and fun experience! My steampunk assemblage robot sculptures are the result of a lifetime of creating art from found recycled materials and collecting toy robots. Finding the perfect robot parts is as much fun to me as creating the actual pieces. Most of the individual personalities of these characters are based on the parts used. The assemblage process always leads me to my favorite thrift store, flea market or random yard sale. This really is a fun place to be!
