Travis Sorenson learned the basics of welding when he was very young. Work in the construction industry exposed him to different parts of the country, and Travis was moved to see and make more.

Spurred by his interest in how things work mechanically, Travis, with the help of his wife and kids, operated his own repair business, but was always interested in creating. Then with life changing health issues for his wife, his perspective changed and he decided to pursue his creative side. His wife, family, and friends have helped him incorporate his artistic expression into his life.

I love to have an idea and then see where it goes,” he says. Travis’ sculpture this year is “Crash Landing”, price is $5,000.
