I felt so lucky today…!
A reader sent this link to me and I was overjoyed to find more metal art (I love metal art…) albeit from England once again… (Previously, I posted about Tom Hill, a horseshoe sculptor who also hails from the UK linked here.)
Today’s sculptor, William Wilson, is a welder come artist. Love it. And, even better… he became an artist by looking through the scrap bins at work and letting his imagination fly! Yup. He’s a regular welder who started fiddling with iron scraps and VOILA! Art!
How wonderful to expand your vision into something so formidable and engaging to others.
Nice!
A work in progress - from horseshoes!

INTERNET SEARCH
I did an Internet search and found just about nothing on him except for one news piece which I’ve attached here.

HIS BLOG
Some of his work can be seen on his blog linked here. He speaks about his pieces very simply and humbly. I think it would be great to support him in his art… So, if you like his work, you can follow him here. Or email him (williamwilsonsculpture@gmail.com)
It would be nice if he made equine art small enough to ship to us across the pond, eh?!
