Pneuma Metal art

Mike Sisson is a retired metal fabricator from East Tennessee. In late 2018, He pursued a life-long dream and relocated to Montana. A few months later, Mike bought a little welder and a few basic tools with the idea of trying out some yard art. It wasn't long after that he had a sudden burst of inspiration, and decided to create his first piece— a set of ram horns. Eight months later, Mike knew what he wanted to do in his retirement. Mike's passion for metal fabrication took a new direction, one that allows him to create original pieces from those moments of inspiration.

"Currently, I am enjoying my time building pieces that I love. While I am not actively doing commission pieces, there are times I might sell a piece which will be listed on this site. If you have any questions regarding myself or the art, feel free to reach out through the contact page."

"Please enjoy the art, and be sure to check back every once in a while. You might find something you absolutely have to have!"

Completed Works

Samurai Dragon Ram

My first piece of metal art. This piece is made from mild steel, weighing 125 lbs. All metal pieces were individually heat treated then applied. No paint, and protected with boiled linseed oil. Currently not for sale.

An idea of a mythological japanese creature. After retiring and moving to Montana in 2018, I purchased a small welder with the intention of creating some antlers to challenge myself artistically.What followed was nothing short of a great discovery. I found that not only was I able to continue my passion for metal fabrication, I was able to try artistic techniques and challenging myself in ways I never had before. From crafting the horns piece-by-piece, to learning movement and how to texture each segment, I thoroughly enjoyed pushing myself in new ways- and finding myself in the process. This piece symbolizes so much: the growth in my life, obstacles I've overcome, and the process of discovery.

This ram is crafted from mild steel- all metal pieces were individually heat treated then applied. This piece has no paint, protected with boiled linseed oil.

Angler Fish

This lamp piece has a unique story. What was originally conceived to be a victim to the Orthoceras piece, this Angler fish eventually became its own entity. For sale.

American Spirit

I began working on this piece last summer with the intention to represent America's ability to go through hell and still come out strong. For sale.

Runner

This little lizard guy was my first attempt at form and motion art. He is made from #8 rebar and cold rolled rod. I had a lot of fun with this project, and look forward to creating more motion pieces.

Down Low

This piece started as an idea to use used consumables to make an owl, which transitioned to a sucker fish that ultimately became a robot head. There's no rhyme or reason to this piece, I had fun letting my imagination take off. Currently not for sale.
