Cut Tin Art
Cut-tin art. What the heck is that? Well, this is the latest example of Barbara’s sculptural artwork. Tin-snips and gloves are requisite tools, along with wood forms. Completed creations include the finished reverse (the back finished) and the edges embellished with copper.
The Eagle is currently for sale at Scanlon Gallery in Ketchikan, Alaska after being displayed at the Alaska Discovery Center Hummingbird Art Exhibit in April 2023.
The Raven is in a private collection as well as two other Raven’s created in the cut-tin series. Like what you see, please commission a Raven. I do not charge for my cut fingers and will even provide a new pair of handling gloves with each piece ordered. Sizes can be according to your wall space. Suitable for outdoors only in places where it is dry.

RavenWood
This raven was created for a friend after I made my first raven sculpture. I needed to contunue practicing this technique. In private collection.

Raven
This was my first Raven and it graces a living room wall in our home. The wingspan is about 4-feet and the raven's talons are chasing bright and shiny objects. Embellished with cut copper wing-tip accents and marble eyes, it is a large prototype showpiece.

Three Ravens
This work, Three Ravens, was commissioned and resides in a home in Eureka, California. I was very happy with the way this piece turned out. The brances are beach-collected, sanded, finished and teak-oiled to make a lasting wood surface. The ravens are animated and happy to be together.

Eagle
This piece created in 2023 is very large; approximately 4-feet high and 30-inches wide. The eagle is on a solid plywood base and weighs about 20-pounds. The model is taken from one of Richard Smith's eagle photographs as my design model. Thank you Richard (spouse). This piece is currently at Scanlon Gallery and is for sale through the Gallery.
