Information:

A mechanic by trade, Gary Koppenhaver has created a family of muffler-made sculptures that adorn his establishment. Although is work has been enjoyed and critiqued by UCLA art classes and PBS television shows, he eschews the notion that he is a folk artist. "I just do this because it is fun. I don't really think of it s art."
