"Branches and Butterflies Ballet: A Dance of Nature and Art"
In the realm of art, inspiration springs from the most varied of muses, sometimes emerging from a simple commission that turns into a transformational journey. Such was the case with my latest creation, "Branches and Butterflies Ballet"—a piece that embodies the beauty and complexity of organic growth through a delicate interplay of textures and colors.

Set along the elegant sweep of a staircase, this triangular artwork is more than just a visual spectacle; it is an immersive experience where nature's dance is frozen in time. As you ascend or descend, each step offers a unique perspective, inviting a fresh glimpse of the dance each time—a choreography designed by nature itself.

The artwork harnesses the power of copper and mixed media, a novel combination that adds depth and multifaceted texture to every inch of the piece. The dark, earthy background serves as a grounding foundation for the intricate designs of delicate branches reaching skyward. These branches, guided by unseen forces, are peppered with leaves that vary in warm browns with whispers of turquoise and green. This palette evokes the ever-changing seasons, captured mid-transformation, with hues that hum in harmony and contrast all at once.

"Branches and Butterflies Ballet" was inspired by the spirit of growth, a commission born from a simple request and realized into something profoundly transformational. This piece is not just a representation of nature’s beauty but an embodiment of its dynamic energy, ever reaching, ever changing. Each element of the branches and leaves points towards movement—with a sense of weightlessness, akin to a ballet where every twist and turn tells a story of life, growth, and transcendence.

So this isn’t a pic of any copper pieces that I have created. But what it is, is a water reflection of the fall colored leaves I photographed.. I LOVE water reflection photos and I love taking pics. And I wanted to post this because every bit of inspiration I have for my copper pieces, come directly from Nature herself.

And anytime I photograph nature, I ALWAYS see Nature within the piece. Copper is an organic byproduct of nature. I love nature, photography and Copper.

Custom pieces are always welcome.
