Art Consultants, Interior Designers, Architects &
Galleries
I enjoy working with Art Consultants, Interior Designers, Architects and Galleries. References are available on request.
Most of the work I do is commissioned and site-specific. I often do foam-core maquettes, designs on paper or clear mylar, or actual maquettes using the final materials.
I've learned I have to charge for shipping and a small amount for crating. It can take sometimes 8 hours to build a box and get the piece secured inside. I ship everywhere in the USA and Canada via Fed Ex Ground and Fed Ex Freight. They have been very fast and reliable for me.
I have shipped via UPS to England, Fed Ex to Canada and these and other shippers are available for international service.
I require a 50% down payment to start on a project, with the balance due on shipping. I find this keeps everyone invested and focused.
I have the equipment to cut, shape, weld and finish aluminum, steel, stainless steel, bronze, copper and brass. I have not worked with titanium yet. I hear titanium will be the metal of the future.
Many of my wall sculptures involve laminating thin copper or aluminum to both sides of 1/4" aluminum or 1/2" thick marine plywood. This creates a light, waterproof material. Most of these wall sculptures weigh less than 25 lbs. With a polyurethane, epoxy or acrylic topcoat, these pieces are absolutely suitable for exterior exposure to rain, snow, sun and the neighbors.
I strive for on-time delivery. However, quality of design and craftsmanship are always my primary concerns. I will not ship until the work meets my standards. Sometimes the unforeseen occurs and brilliant solutions are not always immediately at hand.
I provide complete installation instructions and usually provide the installation hardware as well. I often ship a transparent Mylar 'map' with the piece, noting the exact location of the wall fasteners. This enables the left-right/up-down positioning of the piece to be accomplished without actually holding it in place and facilitates a very quick, easy installation with no need for corrections.
I work on a satisfaction guaranteed basis, with a replace or refund policy if not completely satisfied.
I will soon have as many PDF files as possible for your printing needs. I can also send you packages of prints and other presentation materials. I will be working on a CD-ROM with a PowerPoint presentation as well.
Please feel free to contact me for pricing, drawings and ideas. I will do whatever I can to assist you. We all want to make the world a more beautiful place.
Be sure and check my Installations page to see what the art work looks like on-site.
I am currently beginning work on a series of work with mobiles and tables. Stay tuned.
