Create & Feel Art Contest

Nashville Creative recently asked for submissions for entry to a Create & Feel Art Contest. I entered one of my copper patina art murals and was extremely excited to place in the top 4 as a Runner-up. I could’t have been more excited to actually win. lol. It was a honor to be chosen in the top 4 given the amazing artists in this town.

Creating copper patina ia a process that I have taught myself and given the process I use, it’s definitely a symbiotic relationship with the copper. I can guide the copper to create what I have in mind but I also have to be willing to feel what the copper is wanting to say. So I feel like we are guiding each other and the process will unfold in it’s own time. I can’t will the copper to move any faster than its going to. And it’s a process that I totally respect. I love the relationship that I have with copper and that no 2 pieces are identical. It’s a very natural and organic process that I love being a part of. I love being able to give a visual image to copper whether it’s art, bar tops/bases, tables, planters, etc.
