DECORATIVE SCULPTURES IN COPPER AND STEEL Welcome to my website. Happy New Year! 2009 is over and I wish to thank all my clients for their patronage this past year. It is most appreciated, especially in today's economic climate. 2010 is here and I hope it is a happy and healthy one for all. This year I will be reducing the number of outdoor art shows that I attend. Commission work and the Cross Timbers Artists Guild Gallery will be my main focus. However, I will continue to accept telephone and email orders and will provide notification of any scheduled art shows. Please contact me at CopperAndSteelSculpture@verizon.net if you have any questions. Watch this space for news of future events. The Cross Timbers Artists Guild Gallery is well into its first holiday season and public response has been terrific. The gallery is run by the Guild artists so there is always a knowledgeable person on-hand to answer questions about the art. Stop by on Thursday evenings, from 7:00 - 9:00 pm, for our "wine gathering", when guild artists demonstrate their techniques and discuss their work. Artist demonstrations are also done on Saturdays. The Gallery is located in The Shops at Highland Village (next to James Avery), in Highland Village, Texas. Many of the guild's artists are represented including some who are not on this year's studio tour so come by and see their work and meet them. For more information, please call the gallery at 972-317-9605. Click on this link to visit the Gallery's page on the Cross Timbers Artists Guild's website: http://www.crosstimbersarts.com/gallery.asp All of my sculptures are hand-made and many are made to order so there will be slight differences between the photos on this site and the sculpture I produce for you. Also, since some are custom orders, pricing may be approximate. Except for highlights and accents, my sculptures are colored using various patina techniques, including acids, chemicals and heat. To order a sculpture or to obtain specific pricing, please contact me by clicking on the above email address or calling me at 972-317-2481.
| 2009 Show Schedule: March Ft. Worth Art Afaire, Ft. Worth, Texas March 19-21, 2009 http://fwartsfaire.homestead.com/index.html/ Located in Fort Worth at University Christian Church on the corner of Cantey and Rogers Avenue next to Texas Christian University. April: This is my first participation in a "Thunderbird Artists" Art Show and I am really looking forward to it! Thunderbird Artists has a reputation for producing several high quality art festivals in Arizona, Colorado and Texas. Here is a link to their web site: http://www.ThunderbirdArtists.com/ For more info click on this link to their web site: http://www.flower-mound.com/wild/ May: September: This is a very nice, indoor, one-day show. It is predominantly a crafters show with some local fine artists. It is very well attended and can be quite crowded at times. The show runs from 9:00 AM until 4:00 PM. October: This is a great show in east Texas. Edom is a wonderful small town just a short distance from Canton or Tyler. The show is set in a large wooded area just off the main street. The town also has some great shops to wander through. For more information click on this link http://www.edomfestivalofthearts.com/ November: The Studio Tour is held annually on the second weekend in November (11/7 & 8/09). A number of artists provide demonstrations of their art so visitors not only have a chance to see where we work but also how we make our art. Our goal is to make art more accessible and inspire others to pursue art as a career. Take a look at www.crosstimbersarts.com and plan to take the tour in 2009. The web site has a map locating the artists' studios. Contact me if you would like to receive our brochure and map in the mail.
