Commissions

I’ve always enjoyed commissions. Ideally 50% of my work is just things I want to create, and the other 50% is creating a specific piece for a client. I find this is a good balance and I like the challenge. I work well with deadlines and a little structure. So much of my time is spent alone in a studio. I enjoy working collaboratively with a client to solve a problem and create a unique piece such as a sculpture for a yard or a wall, a logo that captures the essence of a company or a personal gift.

Sometimes it is as simple as taking an existing sculpture and changing the scale or creating a flatter wall mounted version. Sometimes we start with just an idea. I usually create a Photoshop mockup to help clients visualize how the final sculpture will look in different scales or thickness of steel line.

How it Works

A commission starts with a free consultation and, ideally, a site visit. Themes and budgets are discussed and often images or studies from past projects can be used as a starting point.

After 20% deposit: Designs and photo mock-ups.
