Barry has been shaping steel into story since 1987 transforming shovels, bicycle forks, and found objects into striking bird and wildlife sculptures just blocks from his current studio.
Rooted in blacksmith techniques he studied in Antigua, Guatemala, his work bridges craft and curiosity—ranging from delicate 20” dragonflies to towering 9’ herons.
Lately, Barry is breaking the rules. His sculptures invite touch, interaction, and play—blurring the line between art and experience. While often layered with subtle political undertones, his pieces are ultimately created to live with you—grounding your home and garden in beauty, movement, and meaning.
His newest relief works draw inspiration from travels through Portugal, Italy, and Morocco—bringing a global texture to his evolving practice.
