Custom metal art allows a space to become truly personal.
I work with interior designers, architects, and homeowners to create one-of-a-kind pieces that are both functional and sculptural. Every project is designed specifically for the environment it lives in, balancing strength, material character, and artistic expression.
Projects often include:
• Sculptural fire pits
• Metal wall art and panels
• Architectural sculptures
• Custom lighting fixtures
• Furniture and bar tops
• Garden and landscape elements
METAL ART COMMISIONS
WELDING AND FABRICATION SERVICES
In addition to art commissions, I provide professional welding and fabrication services for residential and commercial construction projects.
As a licensed C23 Ornamental Metal Contractor, I work with builders, contractors, and architects who need clean, reliable metalwork that integrates seamlessly with the architecture.
Services include:
• Gates and entry systems
• Railings, handrails, and guardrails
• Stair systems
• Ornamental metal details.
• Metal repairs and modifications
My background in design means I approach fabrication with both technical precision and an understanding of how the finished work fits into the overall project.
Contractors interested in fabrication services can also visit Vesta Metalworks for additional information.
DESIGN PROCESS:
Creating a custom metal piece is a collaborative process. Here’s what working together typically looks like.
Initial Consultation: We begin with a conversation about your space, your ideas, and what you want the finished piece to feel like.
Mood Board & Inspiration: I gather visual references, materials, and ideas to explore the direction of the design.
Design Development: From there, I create sketches and refine the design until it feels right for the space.
Material Samples: We review potential finishes, patinas, and materials so you can see how the piece will look and age over time.
Design Confirmation: Once the design is finalized and approved, fabrication begins.
Fabrication & Installation: The piece is built by hand in my studio and installed with the same care that went into its design.

I am based on the Central Coast of California, primarily serving Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, Montecito, Goleta, Ventura and surrounding areas. I also consider projects outside these regions—just reach out and we can explore logistics.
-
I work with steel, stainless metal, aluminium, copper, bronze, mixed-material assemblies (metal, wood, glass, concrete) I match the material to both aesthetic and functional needs.
-
I offer raw, brushed, oxidized, patinated, powder-coated and clear-sealed finishes—each chosen for durability and aesthetic. I will help determine the best finish based on the project’s environment (indoor vs outdoor) and usage.
