Sculpture

Original and Unique Marine/Nautical wood sculptures with metal embellishments using Unique Patina finishes to create an Industrial-Vintage feel.

I create original handcrafted fish and marine wildlife sculptures that stand apart from traditional coastal artwork. Each piece is individually created by me using carved wood, layered textures, metal embellishments, and specialty patinas that create the appearance of aged maritime metalwork while remaining lightweight and highly collectible. My work appeals strongly to waterfront, lake, boating, fishing, and nature-oriented audiences — making it an excellent fit for the Traverse City market and Great Lakes culture. The sculptures attract attention from a distance, create strong booth traffic, and consistently generate conversation and engagement with attendees.
