Connery Grissom is a metal artist living and working in Southern California, where he was born and raised. He learned the skill of welding in high school and became proficient on the job as an automotive chassis welder-fabricator. During injury leave from his EMT job in 2021, he became intrigued with the idea of welding as art. He began experimenting with the medium to discover the different effects he could achieve by varying the parameters of the welding process. He has been creating his unique art even since.

His art consists of textured two-dimensional metal art made by welding designs onto stainless steel and using the heat from a torch to change the color of the metal. He finds inspiration in a variety of visual art and architectural art styles.

Connery has created several commissioned pieces, regularly participates in juried art shows and competitions in Southern California and is looking forward to expanding his repertoire of art, welding techniques, and knowledge of the art world.
