Rotten stumps, broken branches, invasive species, wind ravaged trees as well as polar opposites and dysfunctional objects are things that Floyd Elzinga has made a career out of representing as three dimensional sculpture, relief work and environmental installations for over 25 years.

After graduating from the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design in Halifax, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Floyd was drawn to work with steel due its affordability in comparison to bronze as well as its malleable, plastic and forgiving nature. He continues to utilize steel and stainless steel for their range of colours as well as the way light plays off the surface. He has been exploring traditional metal working techniques to create textures and depth the same way a painter would use a paintbrush.

He currently lives and works in Beamsville, Ontario, Canada.
