I was born in 1986 and by 1995, I was working in this occupation of metal sculpture, burning out the barrels and flattening them with my hammer.  I got my first order in 2003.” Now creating beautiful works where butterflies flitter and dragonflies buzz in dreamy circles, he is in his element, his brilliant smile a testament to the joy of creative expression. </p><p>For a time, Etienne worked in construction to make ends meet.  However, two respected artists in Croix-des-Bouquets convinced him that his future lay in metal sculpture.  “They said that my opportunity was here as an artist. The village of Croix-des-Bouquets is the mother town.  It was a difficult decision to commit to this art, but thanks to Casey Riddell, I know that this work will be seen and known around the world.&quot;   </p>");
