Uniqueness is not only about the materials, the copper, the tools and the labor involved in a particular project. It is also about concepts and ideas, and - very often - an element of fun and expression.

I received a phone call asking whether I could create a special "anniversary weathervane." The bride works for the FBI. The husband for the DEA. The idea was "they had each other covered" through the years. On the weathervane she fires a pistol. He has an automatic. Both were rendered in bronze.

Their special weathervane now flies on their boathouse.

I always invite people to "Think Unique!" Whether it's for the design of a wall sconce for a particular hall, a personalized lamp for a desk in a den, a boating dock light, a unique weathervane for a grocery store, a bird feeder that's a lawn sculpture or a porch light that is, well... a bug light.

If you can imagine it, I can most probably make it a reality.

You may find unusual and functional in many big box stores and even in small galleries, but having a piece that is commissioned to your particular needs, or made from materials which you bring into the project, changes the entire game... it makes it's personal, gratifying and even fun. It gives it a story and a history. It truly makes that piece unique.
