New Commission
Creating a new commission starts with a free consultation and, ideally, a site or studio visit. Themes and budgets are discussed and often images or studies from past projects can be used as a starting point.
After an initial design deposit, I come up with designs and photo mock-ups.

Designing a new Commission
My pieces can be small table-top pieces or larger-than-life figures. I find myself making more and more large outdoor sculptures. I like the way my work interacts with a garden setting and changes with the light and the shadows outdoors, from morning to night and from season to season. Calculating how a sculpture will fit into someone’s environment is part of the creative process.
Sometimes it is as simple as taking an existing wire sculpture and changing the scale or creating a flatter wall mounted version. Sometimes we start with just an idea and create a digital mockup to help clients visualize how the final sculpture will look in different scales or thickness of steel.I enjoy working collaboratively with a client to 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.
All Outdoor Sculptures are natural brushed Stainless Steel or painted [powder coated] Stainless Steel. Past large scale Commissions have ranged in price from $2500 to $40,000.
