He creates functional art in the form of fruit bowls, lampshades, napkin rings and candle holders, as well as decorative beaded sculptures. Cornelius began working with wire from a young age, making toy cars which later improved to animals and now all objects. Inspired by his brothers, Cornelius finds joy in creating art as a way to make an honest living and provide for his family.
