Wisconsin-based metal artist David Groenjes joins The Fabricator Podcast to discuss building detailed wildlife sculptures from scrap metal, turning a side hobby into a full-time business, and finding inspiration in conservation, welding, and the outdoors.

He also talks about what it takes for a metal artist to break into galleries, participating in the Tadweer (Recycling) International Art Exhibition Invitational in Doha, Qatar, and building a 10-foot-tall mosquito sculpture for the Anastasia Mosquito Control District in St. Augustine, Florida. Along the way, Groenjes shares how social media unexpectedly helped grow his audience and why birds, reptiles, and other wildlife have become some of his most popular subjects.
