Still just trying to get this uploading thing to work right.

Hello all,

My name is Kelly Johnston. I've been doing fabricated metal sculpture for about 5 years now, after previously doing graphic and product design. I mainly do abstract contemporary wall art in steel, copper and brass, with emphasis on torch coloring, transparent tints and patinated finishes. I previously designed in the home accessories industry for Artisan House Fine Metal Sculpture and have recently started a wall sculpture line for NOVA Lighting.

I am new to blogging and very interested in learning more as I really don't know what I'm doing. This is my first attempt and I'm learning as I go. I have done this section a number of times as I look into another area and then when I go back everything I've entered has disappeared. Hopefully this time it will work correctly. I am looking for some helpful hints that will assist me with this (don't get technical). I am also fairly new in the metal art business, I design the art and run the business, my husband cuts and finishes our art. I am looking for a serious mentor to assist me in learning how to market, etc, a new business and hopefully miss some common pitfalls that I may not know about as yet.

my first sculpture in about 3 years (photo 2)more to come...
let me know what you think?!

Hi Everyone....

Here's one of my studio "doodles" that I've been selling like crazy. They are bascially made from bits and pieces of things I have lying around. It's nice to be able to make something small and affordable, allowing people who wouldn't normally buy sculpture an opportunity to do so.
