Custom Metal Wall Art
My Metalwork Wall Art includes metal wall sculptures, art metal wall weavings and metal wall art tiles. Sizes range from quite small to very large (up to 16′!). Most of this metal artwork is made with copper and brass; some of it is made with stainless steel, steel or bronze.
I like copper and brass for metal art because these metals can readily take on so many beautiful colors: reds, yellows, oranges, browns, greens, blues and every combination thereof. These colors are permanent and lightfast; thus these wall art pieces do great with lots of sunlight and outdoors. Patina techniques include chemical acids and bases, fluxes, flame and fire. Patinas develop slowly over time and create a look very different from paint or ceramic glazes.
I do this metalart wall art work to express an awareness of a great joy, energy, order and purpose in life. The intention of my artwork is a celebration of the human spirit. My purpose is to inspire, delight, energize and empower. May it touch you and uplift you. May it give meaning and pleasure to your life.
I am constantly developing, refining and reaching for new ideas and techniques that inspire me and make me grow.
