Three Sisters Lg

Copper, Steel<br>Size 34" x 15" <br>I wanted to pay homage to an Oregon symbol. The three sisters are well known mountains outside of Bend Oregon part of the Cascade Mountain Range. I wanted to keep the it simple while bringing in bold colors. All color is achieved through chemical patinas and not paint. <br><br>Comes with french cleat system for easy and sturdy install. <br>Please be mindful edges may be sharp, keep out of reach of children.

Crater Lake Lg

Copper, Steel<br>Size 34" x 15"<br>My first summer in Oregon I went to Crater Lake National Park. I hadn't been to a national park since I was a child so I didn't really know what to expect. The beauty was incredible. I got to not only swim in a crater, but I got to touch snow in August. Two things I never would have gotten to do had we not gone. As the sun went down the park had one more show for us. The lake appeared as if glitter in the setting sun, the last little bit of light and warmth bidding farewell for the night. I wanted to mimic that beauty so that the light dances off of the piece as the sun hits it. <br><br>Comes with french cleat system for easy and sturdy install. <br>Please be mindful edges may be sharp, keep out of reach of children.

In Focus

Copper, Steel<br>25” x 14”<br><br>Some of my pieces play into emotion however, this one does not. It plays into perspective. When looking at In Focus I wanted to mimic what the eye does naturally when focusing on an object. I wanted the background to fade giving the Cosmo the viewers full attention. The fluttering of the petals pulling the eyes center toward the stamens then down the stem to the foliage. Each part of the flower treated as if it were as delicate as its real counterpart. The bud representing the promise of the future. That although the flower may be at its peak, there’s so much more life still to bloom. Easily hung by a wire on the back of the piece.

Heirloom Sunflower

Copper, Steel<br>Size: 13.75" x 20.5"<br>This copper sunflower trio has two sunflowers in full bloom with a budding ready to pop. I have created steel sunflowers in the past but wanted to add more color. I decided to use copper and a chemical process to bring more reds into the petals. This gave it a summer like quality that will brighten your home. Each petal hammer and welded into place to mimic the individuality of each petal. A marbled rusted background complements the earthy tones while allowing the sunflower to shine. Edges may be sharp, use caution when hanging.

December 11

Copper, Steel<br>size 12" x 15"<br>The medium size of the December series with the same drama as its larger counterpart. When creating the medium version of December is was important to me to maintain the contrast of the orange dusk sky against the dark orchard. It gives a moodiness to winter that I didn't want lost in the smaller size. As the light changes in your house so will this piece. The copper background will almost glow against the dark mountains giving it the illusion the sun has just set. The trees resting against a marbled rusted background, dormant waiting for spring.
