Geometric and Organic Abstract Metal Wall Art

One of a series of small geometric and organic abstract heat-colored steel engravings inspired by celestial and natural themes.

You may have heard me mention the series of geometric and organic abstract metal wall art pieces I made this fall. They’re inspired by celestial, braided river, and other natural themes. Each began as a quick charcoal sketch on a whitened piece of cold-rolled steel scrap. I made the initial design without forethought, working to […]

Celestial Octopus Art on Saw Blade

I ended up calling this piece ‘Let Me Check My Calendar.’ Though I finished the engraving last fall, I installed it last weekend, as the clients weren’t back at their Homer house until then.

I make a lot of my metal and wood wall art designs in small limited editions. You can commission them in custom sizes to fit a specific setting. I make them in both single and multi-layered versions; some have wooden elements. The layers are held together with hidden bolts and screws. I cut out the […]

The Buzz of the Pine Cone Honey Bee

Ok, this goes way back to the 90s’. When I cut the dead cherry tree to make ‘Mountain Man with Raven’ for a tall chimney wall in Linville, NC, I stashed the hollow trunk under my workshop and got busy cutting forked boards for the 50 plus pieces I had to spline and dowel together. […]
