Art
in forged metals.

About Evan

I have been forging metals professionally for a decade, and drawing fanatically since early childhood. My metalwork can be found in private collections, liturgical spaces and corporate settings in the US and abroad.

If my work appeals to you, I encourage you to reach out and begin a dialogue about making something together. It is always an honor to create art with my collectors.

I am blessed to live and work in Spicewood, Texas with my wife and sons.

My studio is available for field trips, demonstrations and private classes. Reach out below to inquire about availability and rates.

Have a question? Interested in commissioning work?
