Richard Wilson grew up in a family filled with welders. His great-grandfather was a welder for the Union Army in Gettysburg, his father worked as a welding engineer and even his mom became a welder during World War II when women were called to the factories while the men were fighting in the War.
But Richard saw metal in a different light. When he needed a gift for his sister, the 8 year old took a metal rod and welded it into the shape of a cat. There has been no looking back. Richard's imagination turns nuts, ball bearings, screws and bolts into rock climbers, fishermen, golfers, and doctors. No profession is off limits!
Richard is a sought after sculpture, designing religious work and items to grace gardens at hospitals. The PA Wilds has named Richard a Juried Artist.
The Cameron County Chamber of Commerce & Artisan Center has a few of his creations. If you have a profession or hobby you would like created, let us know. Richard will be glad to design a one of a kind piece of artwork for you!
