The husband and wife team of Ralph and Sheri Meldrum are masters in the creation of copper art. After first working with several other artistic mediums, in early 2000, the Meldrums decided to work exclusively with copper. They chose copper both for its inherent beauty and the joy they receive in working with this metal. Wall sculptures, weavings and hand tooled pieces are created for mounting on interior walls.
The variety of colors in their work is the result of years of experimentation with chemicals and their effect upon copper. These patinas were developed by the Meldrums, are quite unique, and truly set their artwork apart from that of other copper artists.
Other variables such as heat, enamel pigment, and oils further broaden and intensify their artistic pallet. Each piece of artwork is truly unique due to the variety of size, shape and color and can be designed to accommodate any space and desired effect.
Commissions are welcomed and comprise a significant portion of their work. Copper artwork created by the Meldrums may be found in residences, office and commercial spaces all over the world. They have received numerous awards for their creative designs featured in art shows across the country.
Sheri and Ralph may be found creating artwork in their studio in Cave Creek, Arizona or participating in numerous art shows across the country.
