Sculpture 1 : The Pollinator
Media: Upcycled items, Steel, Polycarbonate, UV inks
Dimensions: 7'H x 3'W x 3'D
$10000
“The Pollinator” is a smaller version of a $40,000 permanent sculpture commission I was selected for in 2024, to decorate and draw attention to the BISH Discovery Center in Greenville, OH, after winning a national RFP sponsored by the Darke County Arts Council. That piece involved a butterfly with an 8 ft wingspan and 9 half kayaks representing blades of grass encircling it. We also planted native wildflowers around the artwork to attract local pollinators.
This piece is smaller, and sits atop a single kayak, “blade” of grass, but still has the same semi-transparent stained glass effect and powerful visual impact as the larger version.
This new concept for 2025 has now been installed in 14 states across the country for the 2025-2026 temporary sculpture on loan season...but not in Utah yet.
Sculpture 2 : Pluma Sculptura, aka "The Feather"
Media: steel, MDO board, UV Inks
Dimensions: 10H x 2'W x 2'D
$7500
The Feather is my debut sculpture design, after spending four years designing themed climbing walls in the active family entertainment industry for a company called ClimbZone, and almost twenty years painting public and private murals for my own business, BB Murals.
It is a direct response to the years of representational work I’ve been doing. I wanted to create something that was not based in reality, had no reference point and seemed to come from a different planet. Something unique. Something that came from inside. Art for art sake.
The Feather, as I’ve been calling it for short, is wildly popular and consequently has been selected for temporary and permanent exhibits in 35 states since it’s debut in early 2019.
