Rick Waltonsmith has been a great client of mine. He is a Saratoga based sculptor artist and I was fortunate enough to photograph his portfolio.
21060 Saratoga Hills Rd., Saratoga, CA 95070
(408) 656-8565
Here are his words explaining his art and himself.
"For centuries humans have made sculpture to create powerful symbols for a variety of purposes such as: religion, love, fertility, or beauty. I use bronze, brass and stainless steel in non-representational shapes, with organic and geometric images to express my feelings.
My sculpture is primarily for outdoor display to enhance architectural sites or augment natural settings. My belief is that sculpture can invite us into a visual appreciation of our surroundings. Sculpture should not dominate a setting, or keep us from seeing what is already there.
I do all of my own work in a converted carriage barn in the hills near Saratoga. I will deliver and install pieces, build pedestals; and will perform any maintenance that may be required over the years."
"Dancing Sunrise" is a commissioned wall installation he created for CMT, Computer Media Technologies. We prepared a wall size poster to explain the complete process of its creation. It is always interesting to learn how much work is involved.

We photographed numerous art pieces in the studio and outside where they are meant to be.
