Outdoor Butterfly Sculpture
This piece is a public commission for the city of Coconut Creek Florida (aka) The Butterfly Capital of the World. Their interest in a large, rustic butterfly piece was posted here on Custommade.com. After some deliberation and design, we chose to create a Giant Swallowtail butterfly, after the Art Nouveau style, contour lined wings and solid sculpted body. The Butterfly is all fabricated steel, mostly recycled, but includes stock sections of Corten steel to preserve it from rust and decay. It stands 13 ft tall.

Hi there. I have been sculpting in Metal for more than half of my 40 years.
I love Metal as an art medium. It is relatively unexplored and there are only a few people dabbling in the more challenging genres. It is a validating and awful thing to try and form hard metal into natural/classical shapes and congruent themes. I do a lot of grinding and pounding, followed by a lot of laborious intricacies. Energy for it ebbs and flows, but the whole of it is quite satisfying.
You may be confident that my work on your project will always be an attempt to maximize the medium. I’ll perform in a manner that would qualify my work as being among the very best available anywhere.
