With well over 50 years of experience as a professional artist, and a team of equally accomplished sculptors and fabricators, our studio specializes in helping fellow artists realize their work on a larger scale. Whether you’re looking to transform a maquette into a monumental bronze sculpture or need expert welding and fabrication support for large-scale installations or architectural models, we provide the technical expertise and artistic sensitivity required to bring your vision into reality.
We work collaboratively, respecting the integrity of your original design while applying decades of hands-on knowledge in materials, casting, and large-format construction. From concept to completion, we’re here to help you take your work to the next level.
