Great Blue Heron Wall Art

 A one-of-a-kind life-size Great Blue Heron sculpture made entirely of natural copper.

A three dimensional wall hanging which comes to life as it extends beyond the limitations of a two dimensional wall.

Elegantly poised standing at the water's edge surrounded by water, a cattail and reeds of multiple types and colors.

Suited for placement on most any wall inside or even outdoors.

Nearly 1,000 individual copper feathers are all hand cut and separately brazed into place one at a time. The skeleton is made of a hand hammered copper armature sheathed in sheet copper to represent skin and hold the feathers.

This is a painstaking process that requires extensive time and attention to detail. It's a integral part of what makes this piece so uniquely realistic.

As in nature, no two feathers are exactly the same in shape or color.

The face really shows the individual character and personality that develops in each and every work of art.

We combine our own patina solutions which chemically alter the color of the copper.

Various heat concentrations throughout the custom hand painted patina process create all the infinite color variations within the sculpture.

The water actually appears reflective as it captures the nearby light.

Copper is the only medium that continues to paint itself over time.

This heron's colors will continue to evolve and change with time becoming ever deeper and richer in color tones.

A uniquely wonderful bit of nature brought to wall art.
