Artist Profile

John McNamara

I am a trained Sheet Metal Artisan. I teach commercial and Industrial Fabrication at the Sheet Metal Workers Local 219 in Rockford, IL. I am the lead instructor for math, layout, fabrication, welding, and architectural work. I am not a traditional Blacksmith, but I use many forged elements in my work. While metal has been my concentration for many years, I don’t limit my expression to just one medium or material. I love making things.  Like any artist without an art form, she became dangerous.

 

Art without an audience is the truest act of rebellion
