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.

For Outdoor Butterfly SculptureJacob Dean was a wonderful Maker with which to work. He was both competent and knowledgeable. He was more than patient regarding the timeline associated with a municipal job and best of all, he had a great attitude throughout our journey. Thank you Jacob. We appreciate your thoughtfulness and effort in the creation of our sculpture.

For Outdoor sculptureFrom the first point of contact with Jacob, I knew I had chosen the right artist. He was beyond 5 stars when it came to communication. He took my ideas, listened to me, and blended them with his artistic talent and expertise and the result is better than what I expected. His handling of the shipping, and in my case the custom forms, was well beyond the call of duty, and I truly appreciate it. Jacob is a talented artist with whom it is a pleasure to work. I fully recommend him.
