"Nature is not a place to visit. It is home"

Studio Corner
The studio is featuring the Heron Collection by Geoffrey C. Smith. The collection is comprised of the different herons Geoffrey has sculpted over the last 20 years. They can be seen on the website, but they are even better in person. Make sure to stop by and see them!
Sculpture Spotlights
Blue Cypress is a timeless beautiful bronze lamp depicting two Great Blue Herons resting in a cypress tree. If you are looking for a functional piece of art for your home, boat or office this bronze is perfect at 37"h x 17"w x 7"l.
In The Studio
Check out this image of Geoffrey from when he traveled to the old foundry out West for a few weeks to work on some new pieces. One of them, as you can see in this picture with Geoffrey and Jorge, was the Colossal Pelican that was poured in stainless steel. Below is the finished piece sitting proud in the studio today.
Travels & Adventures
What an amazing trip! This photo is from when my son Mark and I drove from our home in Stuart, Florida to Bozeman, Montana for a visit to the old foundry. Even though it was a work trip we were able to stop in Yellowstone park to fly fish and make memories that will last a lifetime. After four days on the road we finally arrived in Bozeman. I loved showing Mark the different steps in the lost wax casting process. Because I am able to be hands on at the foundry, I can make sure my pieces are transformed from my clay sculptures into the works of art that our clients cherish. As always I had my trusty Canon with me on the trip, and I was lucky enough to come across a mother bear and her cubs as well as many other animals during our trip.
