✨Light up your Night!✨

I had such a great time making this custom chandelier! If you have an idea for a lighting sculpture, or would like to work with me to create a one of a kind piece for your home, contact me today!

Precision-cut and shaped by hand, this chandelier is water-rated and ready to be hung indoors or out. The delicate flower pendants allow light to emit through the intricate design as well as give a warm glow. Each pendant is powder coated in a shimmery gold that will protect it from the elements and help reflect an illuminating glow. This artwork is comprised of three increasing sizes of blossoms and accepts standard or decorative lightbulbs.

This completely custom Tree of Life sculpture offers a bit of calming energy to the patients and staff at Florida Cancer Specialists in North Port.

I put so much love into this piece! Every leaf and branch on this 18’ wide aluminum sculpture has an artistic grinding pattern applied, each section was torch-shaped by hand, and the trunk has natural copper shadowed behind.

So grateful to team up with My Favorite Art Place to beautify this space for people receiving life-saving care.

✨ My favorite event of the year! ✨ We had a fantastic night at the 32nd Annual Impact Awards recognizing Honorees for their extraordinary contributions to, and in support of arts education, culture and the arts right here in Tampa Bay.

I was thrilled and honored to create the custom aluminum awards to presented by Tampa Bay Businesses for Culture and the Arts (Tampa Bay BCA). This group does so much good promoting our wonderful local artists by presenting scholarships, grants and organizing cultural encounters.

I am so excited to share with you all some early progress pictures from my Origami Crane Sculpture. This piece is one of my largest to date. It weighed over 700 lbs and I simply could not have completed this without the help of my spectacular team!!

There are so many people who helped me bring this vision to life and I can’t possibly express how grateful I am for everyone’s expertise, enthusiasm and dedication! I want to give a shoutout to several of the awesome pros that helped through the beginning portion of the sculpture construction.

Greg Dawson, your help with production was incredible! You are a delight to work with and I’m excited to collaborate on the next big thing!

Saroka Construction did an amazing job installing my concrete support pad. Y’all are professional, positive and did a spectacular job working with with a client who’s very important to me.

To my girls at Grand Central Stained Glass, the sky colored ripple glass for Mori’s eyes is absolutely perfect! (As usual!) If anyone needs custom stained glass, I highly recommend these wonderful people!

This is quite possibly my favorite project ever! Those of you who are close to me know that this Origami Crane Sculpture has been my baby for the last few months and I’m more than thrilled with how she turned out. My client has named her “Mori” in honor of her beloved mother, and this sculpture is now on display at a private residence in St. Pete.

I’ll be posting in progress shots over the coming weeks but today I’m excited to share the final product! I’m feeling incredibly lucky to have been commissioned to create this sculpture as it shares the shape of something that has represented so much positivity to me, the origami crane. I have had this as my logo for over a decade now and I’m delighted to be able to convey some of what it represents so dearly to me and also to the lovely homeowner. Such a sweet gesture of love and happiness!

My Origami crane sculpture is absolutely one of my favorites to create, and this one is extra special! Crafted from aluminum with grind patterns applied by hand, the sculpture is so luminous in the sunlight. It is 5ft from tip of beak to tail and really is just so much fun to work on.

Less than a week remaining! Come check out all the GOAT sculptures displayed at before they will be leaving this Saturday.  Project GOAT, which stands for Global Offensive Against Trafficking, is an art-based awareness and fundraising campaign for the fight against human trafficking and sexual exploitation of children.

I got involved after receiving one of the most amusing and exciting art requests - "My friend is painting a goat, she needs metal wings, would you be interested?" “Well of course!” After hearing the purpose behind the project, I was more than excited to collaborate with Alicia Campos and to create “Silent Light”, the winged GOAT.

A brainstorming session led to a plan to create a second GOAT in the form of the mythical Capricorn as a testament to those who have endured exploitation.  The winter solstice happens to occur while the sun is in the constellation of Capricorn. While this day has the longest hours of darkness, it also symbolizes a rebirth as the sun reappears at the horizon and the days begin to become longer, giving a feeling of hope and renewal, a perfect inspiration for the GOAT.

I began by cutting the plaster GOAT sculpture in half to build its fish-like tail around the remaining body. Over 1000 metal scales and many hours of cutting, welding, and grinding metal, “Capricorn” is a tribute to the incredible resilience of the survivors of sexual exploitation. It is now displayed along with a herd of 14 other GOATs at International Plaza for the next week. Head on over to see all the GOATs - each with a powerful story.

10/02/2020

🐐 Check out this herd with a purpose! 🐐 On display at International Plaza for the next week.

Project GOAT, which stands for Global Offensive Against Trafficking, is an art-based awareness and fundraising campaign for the fight against human trafficking and sexual exploitation of children. 55 life-size goat castings were painted or otherwise embellished by mostly local artists and, in many cases, represented by celebrity athletes, actors, musicians, and others.

I was excited to collaborate on “Silent Light”, making metal wings for Alicia Campos to add to her sculpture. I also was lucky enough to get to create a second goat, “Capricorn” with a metal fish tail.

Raising awareness to protect children from exploitation is more crucial now than ever. This sickening $300 billion a year industry is unfortunately extremely prevalent, and doesn’t get nearly enough notice.

Project GOAT sculptures will eventually be auctioned off with all proceeds going towards organizations dedicated to fighting human trafficking. Message us to learn how you can purchase or sponsor any of the 55 GOATs and support the Global Offensive Against Trafficking!

We are excited to share upcoming new items in our “Hive” collection! Be on the lookout for pieces to accompany our wine rack, including a wall mounted spice rack, pet feeding station and a 6-bottle counter wine holder!

For today’s post we thought we might share a little more about the process of creating custom metal logo artwork. It’s super easy and fun! 1. File creation. We can do this from a logo file, a sketch or just simply an idea you may have. 2. Metal Cutting. You can choose from aluminum, steel, copper, you name it. Our CNC plasma cutter is amazing! It allows us to cut intricate designs with a precision not achievable using a hand torch. 3. Production. We complete your custom piece by finishing, welding and painting your artwork. We use only the highest quality materials to ensure long lasting durability. 4. Installation. We are happy to offer a local installation service for all our creations. Prices vary due to artwork scope and installation location. We also offer installation templates to our DIY-ers for easy hanging!

KICK UP YOUR HEELS :: THANK YOU Chroma Studio for another outstanding annual event at your studio. You're bad ass.

For a thrilling Takeover Tuesday, TBBCA pARTner Chroma Studio founder and artist Kate Gausche takes us deep into two favorite processes that she uses to transform raw metal and materials into artwork. Kate shares "I typically start creating my pieces with large sheets of aluminum and steel, and copper in giant rolls. I then process my raw materials using either heat or through chemical reactions (sometimes both!). I use heat at nearly every stage of my work from cutting to annealing and of course welding. My CNC plasma table cuts the metal using the precision of a computer and reaches temperatures up to 40,000° F - four times hotter than the surface of the sun! The process of annealing involves heating metal almost to the point of melting to change it at the molecular level, allowing it to be shaped without losing its strength. Finally, I weld these processed pieces together to create sculptures, signage and artwork.
For my patinas, a proprietary blend of chemicals, substances and our lovely Tampa Bay sunshine is used to create a vast array of natural textures, colors and patterns. The pieces are influenced by the proximity to the Florida mangroves as the sun, rain and salt air combine with the chemical blends to bring out these beautiful teals, blues, and reds, sometimes taking weeks to reach their rich hues." Be sure to visit chroma studio online to see Kate's unique work and these processes in action!

We are excited to introduce TBBCA pARTner's Takeover Tuesday!
Hi, I’m Kate Gausche from Chroma Studio - Metal Art & Design. For the next several weeks we are thrilled to be participating in a “Takeover Tuesday” to share some of our experiences and processes of creating artwork.
Today Chroma Studio features two case studies of collaboration that show how including personalized art installations and logo-branded pieces in corporate spaces can not only enhance your space aesthetically, it can also reinforce your company’s culture to employees, guests and customers. From reducing stress to boosting productivity, we are all aware of the positive aspects of surrounding yourself with art - and the workplace is no exception!
These corporate art projects pictured involved real teamwork in the design process. For both Rising Tide Innovation Center and the Greater Tampa Realtors, we joined with another TBBCA pARTner Jerri Menaul and her team at My Favorite Art Place to offer art pieces that ranged in styles and materials and were uniquely designed for these very different businesses. Metal sculptures, billboard sized wall prints, custom acoustic panels, acrylic info displays, and even a lighting system to project logos onto the reception floor all made for cohesive designs that met the business’ needs, emphasized their branding and aligned with their strategic goals.
As pARTners of TBBCA, we experience first-hand how true it is that “the Arts are good for Business, and Business is good for the Arts”! Connecting businesses with the art community in Tampa Bay enhances the quality of life for all. During this unusually challenging year it’s more important than ever to support one another and work together. We are finding new and creative ways to collaborate with other businesses on commercial and residential artworks with the goal of contributing to a more inspiring, uplifting and art-filled Tampa Bay!

A HUGE thank you to the incredible Kate Gausche of Chroma Studio and Jerri Menaul of My Favorite Art Place for coming through in the with 55 beautiful steel and acrylic custom display stands in less than 2 weeks! These amazing museum-quality stands will provide information on each of our 55 GOATs and artists that comprise and will be installed at the Gasparilla Festival of the Arts next weekend! Thanks for supporting the fight against human trafficking and sexual exploitation of children.

It’s traditional Dia De Los Mu***os chrysanthemums, marigolds and cockscomb and anatomically correct goat skull and bones are incredible! Thanks Michelle Sawyer and Tony Krol!

Did you know that the average woman owns 20 pairs of shoes, spends $1,800/year on their hair and ONLY 20% of people own a second pair of eye glasses?

Is it because of the cost or they just do not have the knack of picking a pair that look and feel great.

At we offer a Eyewear Styling- Style Solution Service that will assist you in picking the perfect pair of specs for your face shape, features and honor your style personality.

Last week we assisted Kate owner of Chroma Studio choose her spec style.
