Mary Yznaga- M.Y. Metal
Metal artist
Austin, TX
I create 3-D works in steel including garden flora of all shapes and sizes. Recreating delicate flowers in such an impenetrable medium fascinates me and informs my art. My flowers range in variety from large agaves and other succulents to delicate bouquets. Patinas applied over fabric stencils have been a new area of exploration.
