My residential customers are drawn to the aged copper. They may have seen a piece in a gallery or on my website and want a custom work specifically for them. Sometimes they have a specific spot for the art in mind and sometimes we place it according to the flow of the room. In this particular case, we framed the copper to give it more depth. I thought, at first, that the frame would dull the look of the piece and make it seem one-dimensional. However, to my pleasant surprise, it took the copper to a new level! It anchored it on the wall, both visually and literally! Ha! It seems as though it allowed the colors and textures to come alive in the space!

I recently took a "bucket-list trip" down the Pacific Coast Highway - from San Francisco to LA. All I can say is WOW! The views were breathtaking! I found myself stopping every few miles to take another picture! I captured images of animals and flowers and ocean, as well as sunrises and sunsets I'd never seen. The world is one amazing place, isn't it?! I can't wait for my next adventure! 

Aged copper can be a beautiful statement piece in your home! Over a couch, in a hallway, on a dining room wall...you name the room and it will be become a unique focal point. Here are a few of my favorite copper art pieces I recently finished! The sizes vary depending on the space. Sometimes I'll even group the art pieces together for an eye catching collage wall. I'm currently showing some of my custom copper art at Paul LeQuire & Co. in Green Hills! 

Maverick is an intricate part of the copper patina process! He provides constant love and encouragement to me while I work, and sometimes a cute distraction. Maverick is a 6 year old standard poodle with a kind (and energetic) human soul. Maverick's favorite things are jumping, sweet potatoes, long walks, and being petted. He enjoys being a copper expert and approves every custom piece that goes out of my studio door.  I mean who could resist this face?! My copper is Karla aged and Maverick approved!
