Jeffrey H. Dean - Creative Fires Studio

I am a sculptor living in Homer, Alaska. I've been making custom artwork for people's homes and businesses since 1981, working in a variety of materials, styles, and techniques. From my first decorative heat shield to my latest Percent for Arts Commission, I’ve got over 80 commissions "under my belt." I can make both decorative and functional artworks which are used as centerpieces for special places. These can be designed especially for each specific setting, or chosen from many available works and designs. As an artist, I can't help but get excited when presented with a new commission setting. Combinations of materials, techniques and subject matter all begin to take form in my mind. This begins with a general feeling of what would go well in the space and continues to develop through interaction with my client, contemplation, design work, and the odd flash of inspiration. One of my favorite things about making custom artwork for people is when the ideas and dreams you have for your home or business come together synergistically with my experience and artistic sensibility. This results in something totally new; something neither of us could have imagined on our own.
