James Kitchen has been welding scrap metal into sculpture for the past eight years, and continues
to gain recognition in the world of fine arts, selling to an ever widening circle of collectors
nationwide. All of the metal in his sculptures comes from local farms, antique stores,
auctions, and occasionally a neighbor who leaves a pile of interesting objects in Kitchen’s driveway.
Kitchen has a powerful sense of creativity and a nonstop passionate drive, which turns those
piles into incredible works of art. He uses nature to mature and nurture his
sculptures into the finest rust patina and does little else to alter the metal.
'I feel part historian and part archeologist, creating new life,” he says.
'In my heart I feel this is my calling in life....everything I have done leads up to this.'
In addition to being at the Paradise City Art Festival in October 2007, James was
fortunate to be showcased on his favorite medium, Public Radio. To hear the interview by Tina Antolini,
