Blue Bamboo is hand-fabricated from welded steel, finished with a Lollypop Blue powder-coat. It has an airy, light, fine structure which is enhanced by the electric blue of its stems. The sculpture has a pleasing solidness and a whimsical asymmetry, an abstract representation of the elegance of a free-growing bamboo bush The image here is a maquette for a larger sculpture that I will make you on commission I can fabricate this piece in custom sizes up to 60 inches tall. The larger sizes look enchanting in an outdoor setting, especially standing alone in front of stone or in the middle of a stretch of lawn. I can custom-make a pedestal for the sculpture to sit on, in order to achieve more striking height I can finish the piece in a range of anodized colors, with natural patina or by powder-coating - in an even more beguiling selections of colors

I am a sculptor working in metal and glass. Sometimes singly, sometimes together. I find the simple expression of material to be visually pleasing, and often the stuff I have on hand will nudge my creative process. If the resulting piece awakens my visual sense with wonder, that counts as art for me.
I’ve arrived at sculpting after a heady and enjoyable journey through corporate life. I worked my whole career, twenty-seven years, at JPMorgan and all of that on its trading floors. So making art - and the solitude that accompanies it - are a striking counterpoint to the addictive buzz of life in the markets.
The short story reads like this: as an avid gardener I developed an interest to make large-scale metal art to add to the whimsy in my yard. My son, who was (and is) restoring a classic Alfa Romeo taught me how to weld; I followed this with a semester at the Silvermine School of Art. Many moons, more tools, much practise, the steady acquisition of technique (mostly from other artists and artisans) and I had learned much of what goes into my art now.
I like to use recycled steel whenever possible and I scavenge actively to collect old metal - there’s little more satisfying than cutting up and creating art from, say, an old corn planter.
Patina, texture and light fascinate me and play engaging roles in my sculptures.
My wife (an art photographer among her other talents) and I collect the works of (mainly) American craftspeople - glass makers, ceramicists, wood-workers, textile artists, sculptors - and seek out contemporary art, often at Sculpture parks. So making art is its own reward. Sharing it is even better.

For Marris' End TableThe table Dinsa created for me is beautiful. I found him very easy to work with. He was open to my ideas, as well as providing detailed ideas of his own. He was prompt with his responses and provided pics of several samples for me to chose from. Great experience all round.
