This salmon metal wall art was inspired by the ocean stage of the adult coho or silver salmon’s life cycle. It depicts the pull of the moon, the cycle of day and night, the sun the stars, and phases of the moon. And the life of salmon in the ebb and flow of the open ocean; between the tides and the salmon’s imminent return to the headwaters from whence they came. I made the engraved and heat tinted metal wall art using decorative techniques I’ve been developing for the last 30 years or so. After enlarging the drawing onto plasma cut 14 gauge steel, I engrave it into the metal using a pneumatic engraver and grinding burrs. I then use a variety of abrasives to grind the surface of the wall panel to create grinding patterns and textures, suggest the forms and movement, and the overall feeling I want to capture. The result is akin to a metal art painting. ‘Between the Tides’ is available in a limited edition of seven. I made the first wall panel in the limited edition for the Best Western Bidarka Inn of Homer, Alaska, where it greets visitors from behind the reception desk. If you prefer a different size, you can special order a version of this salmon metal wall art specially sized to fit your space. I can even make it as a wall sculpture with multiple layers of heat tinted metal and wood. If you have a salmon fishing business, I can incorporate it into a metal sign for you. If you’re looking for a coffee table, I can make it as the engraved steel top for a decorative coffee table. If you’re on a budget, or your design plans don’t require a piece of original metal art, it’s available as a creative edge art print on aluminum. The metal photo print is cut to the same shape as the original. Steel Colored with Heat Tints on 14 gauge steel. Limited Edition of 7 available in custom sizes.

I'm an artist and sculptor in Homer, Alaska. For the last 40 years, I've created significant focal point artwork specially designed to enhance the character my clients envision for their homes, businesses, or public places. I make both decorative and functional sculpture, furniture, and wall art. From my first bronze portrait to my latest Percent for the Arts Commission, I've completed more than 90 commissions. With the ability to work in a wide range of materials, styles, and techniques, I make pieces that become integral to the essence of their setting. These pieces can be either custom designed or selected from my currently available artwork or designs. With visual effects impossible to achieve using other materials, heat colored steel engraving brings a broad range of moods to a single work of art. Because heat colors patina the steel without obscuring its unique metallic qualities, each piece has a dynamic character and depth that changes with the light and viewing angle. You can get a feel for this dynamic quality in this video: https://youtu.be/NGBjs0PbkIo With each commission, I intend to bring about a creative synergy between your aesthetic vision and my artistic sensibility, thus creating something new that neither of us may have imagined on our own. I'm confident I can make works of art that stand the test of time, and are the source of conversation and enjoyment for generations to come. I appreciate having the opportunity to introduce my art to you through Saatchi Art. You'll find a range of original focal point metal and wood wall art, limited edition bronzes, wood sculptures. Many of my engravings are made in small editions of 7. Some are currently available and ready to ship, others are available by special order and I can make them in the perfect size for the space you are decorating. I've also made brightly colored metal photo prints of my engravings available for people who don't have space or budget for my originals. Some of the bronzes are made by my wife Ranja. She grew up with all sorts of animals and has a great aptitude for conveying their essence in her work. Here are a few things my past clients have to say about my work and working with me. • Denali Table "My family and I have enjoyed the beautiful creativity of Jeff Dean's artistic production in our home for nearly 20 years.
