My company Creative Machines creates some of the most beautiful and engaging public art in the world. While we got our start creating museum exhibits and continue to be a leader in that field, what interests me the most is developing large-scale sculptures and permanent public art installations. We are constantly innovating new processes and using versatile materials in order to engage the public in new and meaningful ways. In the end, the lifeblood of each work is sustained through a unique and personal experience.
