This is a gallery of links to some of the people we feel the desire to pay tribute to......
Bob Coffee...Bob Coffee Sculpture Studio...Bronze Sculpture......Lion Statue Kabul......Homepage...Most Texans or visitors to Texas are familiar with having seen his work either in public or private places. Likely, you just didn't know it was done by Bob Coffee. Have you ever seen the statue of Eeyore in Pease Park whereupon the annual festival of his birthday revolves? That's Bob Coffee as are many others of vast variety in both style and inspiration ranging from Texana history to total creative imagery and beyond throughout Texas and now the planet. One of the kindest, most humble, down-to-earth, sensible and savvy people you could ever meet with a never-ending lust for knowledge and passion for the community.
Beverly Penn...Sculptor...Homepage...Using metals and color as a medium, the organic is often but not always evolved from and fused to the mechanical in varying degrees and themes that are sometimes simple and sometimes complex. In pieces where the mechanical is not considered, the organic imagery often forms patterns from a matrix of swirls.
Lars Stanley...Stanley Studio & Lars Stanley Metalworks...Homepage...on Houzz...Architecture & Metal Sculpture...The scope of what takes place within the structure you see here designed by Lars and within the entire compound is vast and creative.
Mark & Christina Landers...Landers Studio...Homepage...Fine custom furniture. They are limited to no particular style as exhibited by this exquisite art deco. The common thread throughout all of their projects is unsurpassed craftsmanship.
Claudia Reese...Cera-Mix Studio...Homepage...Ceramic Artistry on a vast variety of colorful pallets extremely tastefully done. We chose this photo because it displays 3 of them.
Kathleen Ash...Studio K Glass...Homepage...on Houzz...Kathleen creates a variety of handmade and worked glass in vivid and spectacular shapes and forms that can not be captured in a single photo.
Barbara Attwell...At The Well...Homepage...Linkedin ...Art and Environment..This photo is a sculptured home designed for bats (lots of bats). Visiting her Linkedin describes it's intricacies. The variety of her mediums and styles are far too vast for one image and the gamut continues to grow. The medium of some of her strikingly innovative latest work we witnessed first hand recently and available examples do not yet seem to be displayed online. It's a medium we have never seen used before but will not describe it further until the artist is ready to do so. We chose this project to display, simply as an immediate curiosity.
Philippe Klinefelter...granite, wood & metal sculptor....His is highly revered in the Austin community with each project having it's own unique beauty...Homepage...YouTube...International Sculpture Center...

Reji Thomas...Graphic Glass Studios...Homepage ..."Reji Thomas's work spans the range from paintings on canvas to functional furniture, architectural embellishment pieces, glass trophies and plaques, glasswork and much more. She is a master craftsperson who uses glass and stone etching and blasting, welding, engraving, hot glass casting and other techniques to achieve stunning results in her commercial and fine art. Reji's work appears in installations and collections world-wide: the Texas State Capitol, official gifts to the Queen of England, Sister City gifts from Austin to Adelaide, Australia and Iwata, Japan, and in numerous private collections throughout the United States."

Ironworkers.....
The Ironworkers Union...IMPACT (Ironworker Management Progressive Action Cooperative)........Ironworkers Local #482
...............................In a trade that is one of the most difficult and dangerous to perform, theirs is a Cinderella story of a union that has re-invented and committed itself to the highest standards of safety, performance, efficiency, organization, education and communication. For larger construction in structural steel, ornamental steel, reinforcing bars, tilt wall & precast concrete, window glass and curtain walls, we would recommend, based on experience, no contractor that does not hire union-trained and certified ironworkers when ironwork is involved.
