Being a professional artist over the past years I have had many people ask many times, “how do you come up with these ideas?”. Not wanting to go in to my long and often confusing version of my belief in a higher power, it is so simple for me to explain that I was born in to it. Literally, art is in my blood.
My aunt, Lindsay Daniel, president and founder of Lindsay Daniel Architecture has made an incredible name for herself in the world or Architects. Her firm in Charlotte, NC(yes the city that used to be a town) has a portfolio that would impress the most harsh of critics. She has been an incredible influence on my work simply through my observation of her discipline. I would say that the best lesson I have learned from her is that you never stop developing as an artist. (more…)
hand crafted iron mermaid and fish sculptures make great gifts
Since I began offering my sculptures online, I have picked up on a couple trends that I wanted to share with everyone in regards to holiday shopping. Obviously, the first trend most of you are far too familiar with. That’s right, I am talking about procrastinating the purchase of that perfect gift for someone during the holidays. If you have no idea what I am talking about, please feel free to stop reading now. If you can relate and are considering purchasing an iron fish, crab, stingray or mermaid sculpture from me for someone this holiday season, please read on.
You will notice that in a couple places on my website I have placed an “FYI Urgent” in red font color text about the need to get your orders in early for Christmas and the holidays. I want to stress this point to remind all customers and collectors that I am only one artisan/artist. I employ one apprentice and we always start the holiday season a bit behind. This leads me to tell you about the second trend I mentioned earlier.
September and October are dependably busy months due to increased wedding orders. Also, for some reason, I notice that many customers and collectors get busy buying for themselves during this time of year. I can’t explain why, but I can say that this puts us in a position of strain(welcomed no doubt) in catering to my holiday customers time constraints. (more…)

2009 Volunteers In Medicine Christmas Ornaments are here!!!!
The Iron Fish Studio is proud to announce that our 4th annual Volunteers in Medicine Christmas tree ornaments hand decorated by the Daufuskie Island Elementary children are ready for purchase. This year we made 300 uniquely designed ornaments that sell for $10 per ornament. This is a suggested price and 100% of all ornament sales go directly to VIM which is an organization that offers free health care to residents of Hilton Head and Daufuskie Island who are not insured and who also meets financial qualifications.
Every year, VIM handles 31,000 patient visits served by approximately 700 volunteers! The cleaning of VIM, which would cost $25,000 is donated by grateful patients doing their best to give back. One last important statistic is that 70% of the patients are employed and 20% are children not old enough to work. (more…)
corporate sculptures and custom designs
Over the past eight years, a number of large businesses and corporations have commissioned private Iron Fish collections of their own. Custom colors, custom designed shapes, signatures, sizes and stamps for marking the sculptures are a few examples of different methods involved in making the order both unique and special.
We have created customized lines of fish designs for Gorton’s Seafood, Phizer, and RBC Real Estate to name a few. These sculptures are usually given out as employee or customer appreciation gifts. With the Gorton’s Seafood project, we stamped the company name as well as the specific years slogan, “Don’t Hope, Decide”, on to every fish sculpture created, which were then given to a number of employees at a year-end company retreat. They also commissioned four framed and mounted fish sculptures using reclaimed pine and incorporating a plaque in the frame that they could present to a valued customers. (more…)
