Sidewinder
Diego Harris, California
Medium: Powder Corten Steel
Dimensions: 104” x 62” x 42”
Cost: $9,000
Sidewinder is an abstract sculpture made of Corten steel, also known as Weathering steel, which has trace amounts of other metals like copper and chromium. This metal develops a fine rust patina over time. The artist is inspired by plant and animal shapes in nature and tried to capture the essence of a moving serpent in this piece. The artist invites you to find your own interpretation as well.

Top Cat
Ellen Woodbury, Colorado

Sometimes we have the good fortune to meet animals who steal our hearts and teach us more about life. Top Cat is a larger-than-life homage to the animals who have enriched the artist’s life. The artist’s knowledge of movement, personality, and poses comes from a 20-year career animating animals in films at Walt Disney Feature Animation.

The Family Tree
Deveren Farley, Utah
Medium: Recycled Metal
Dimensions: 168” x 96” x 84”
Cost: $26,000
The Family Tree is made from recycled and scraps of metal because the artist embraces the idea of simple living, conserving and recycling our resources. The sculpture features a mother bird watching over her nest of eggs, perched out for a day in the sun, and was inspired by the artist’s own family. It is whimsical enough to grab the attention of all ages that seek out the family and their unique differences.
