Sonoran Life - Wooden Lamp by Russell's Art & Design The Sonoran deserts of Southwest Arizona and Northwest Mexico are full of life! The Saguaro cactus is the image of the American Southwest, coyotes prowl in the night, and javelina visit in the morning. While the sun burns overhead they rest in the shadows. 9.5" x 4.5" x 4.5" with 9' cord. Elegant, light weight table lamp which looks beautiful in your entry way, on your mantle, or bedside table. Great as an accent light, or to read by! The design is original art done by Russell Simpson of Russell's Art & Design LLC. Each side of the lamp features a different Sonoran scene. Find out more about our company on our 'About' tab! The artwork is laser cut from birch wood, stained, and an acrylic backing panel is applied. Then each lamp is hand assembled to perfection. The LED light bulb is mounted in a custom built 3D printed interior mount, which can be accessed by removal of the top panel. Everything you need and want in a beautiful lamp!

I am a 3 dimensional sculptor of functional art. I work in many materials including wood, stone, steel, and plastics, with modern tools like 3D Printing, laser cutting, and CNC routing, in both the workshop and virtual spaces with VR sculpting software, 3D CAD, & BIM.
I am working on building projects with clients that will improve our world. We need to design things with respect to their social, environmental, and economic impact. This ranges from recycling and manufacturing plastics at home to carefully designing furniture for people & animals that really improves their quality of life, while minimizing their environmental cost.
I am a Master of Architecture, life long sculptor, speaker of Japanese, German, and English, and dedicated to building excellent projects for my clients!

Peter Heintz
For Peter's Wedding & Special OccasionI had a very specific custom project on a tight deadline and Russell was able to deliver something special. Communication was great and timely and the finished product exceeded expectations.
Walter Parrish
For Walter's small bicycle sculptureI had an idea for a creative piece of art but lack the personal talent to create it myself. I didn't know if a custom piece would be achievable within my budget. Russell accepted the challenge and delivered what I was looking for in a timely and budget friendly manner. He was professional and easy to work with. I am looking forward to delivering this unique birthday gift to the recipient.

For Custom Origami SculptureWorking with Russell was very easy, he provided examples and test designs before approving of the final design. The oragami sculptures turned out amazing! They were shipped very safe and arrived in perfect condition. Thank you Russell!
Laura Long
For Box for pet cremainsRussell designed and built a wooden urn for my pets' ashes. He took a lot of care in collecting my design and construction preferences and transformed them into a beautiful object. He was communicative throughout to ensure the object was just what I wanted. And it is! It is a beautiful tribute from a wonderful craftsman and I will treasure it.
Judy Weber
For Buddha fishing poleI was very pleased with the end result of my carving project. Russell was professional, courteous, and was able to take what I wanted and make it a reality. My Buddha statue is now complete and has a place of notice on my bookshelf. Highly recommend.
Albert Cheng
For Albert's Wood sculpture of animated cats.I was very happy with the final product and would definitely work with Russell again in the future if I would like something custom made. My advice is that if there's any detail or suggestions that you may have for your project during its creation, please voice them out to Russell right away as there are some things that can only be adjusted during certain phases of the project. Thank you again Russell and my review would technically be 4.5/5 :)
