Most of my life has been dedicated to the masonry business as a block layer and business owner. For a short period I also did some home building with a good friend. During all this and for the past 36 years I have been blessed, inspired and supported by my beautiful first wife Linda (oh, she's still my wife, I just like to introduce her to people that way). In a joint venture Linda and I created not one, not two, but three beautiful daughters, Tori, Shaynie, and Bailey.
I've always had a passion for horses and riding. I was always fairly artistic, but never really did much with that talent until the last few years. I guess with the masonry business, my passion for riding, my beautiful inspiring wife, and three very special daughters I didn't have much time for it. By finally getting out of the masonry business I now find I have time for my second passion which is sculpting.
I find it immensely satisfying to take some metal rod and create an exquisite tree, or changing a few sheets of 12 gauge steel into a life size metal art sculpture like little "Levi" shown on the right (named after Levi Newman who posed for this on a camping trip we were on).
Due to the fact that we need to eat, and I couldn't get Linda to get a second job we started up THE WELDED DONKEY. I have my little studio / shop and I now spend my days with little Woodrow (my Jack Russel Terrier) in my studio, creating sculptures. Life is good! I just finished my first commissioned piece, and working on finishing up "Levi & Nugget" and some others.
Please take a few moments and browse around. If I can help you in some way, or if you just want to let me know what you think, I'd love to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Gary Moser
