About the artist

When Brian and his wife Michelle met in early 1993, Brian was working for Northwest Airlines as a Buyer and Michelle was a Berlitz instructor. Four months later they were married. As newlyweds they shared a desire to spend their days together creating beautiful artwork. Holding to their vision, they jumped out of the "real world" and dove full-time into their dream. The first challenge? How do you create something absolutely unique? That was when the vision of Windhover Creative Design's wood and copper sculptures was born. Brian explains, "I liked metal sculptures, but they were very common and in quite a few instances, too 'cold' for many decors. Instead, I thought I could take the best qualities of wood and copper and combine them into something no one else had. By using steam to bend the wood, we overcame some of the limitations that wood presented. By marrying wood and copper, we created an item that was flexible, strong, and much warmer in both color and texture."

Brian and Michelle's dream has resulted in a wonderful variety of decorative flowers, vines and trees now available from Creations gallery.
