Who We Are
We are husband and wife Alan and Nina Derrick. I (Alan) am the artist and sculptor. My chosen medium is steel. I design, cut, shape, weld, and paint the steel to create my works of art. Together, Nina and I work very hard to get my metal wall art listed and sold right here on the internet. When doing business through this site or contacting the studio, you are dealing with one of us.
Alan's Background
I was born in Chattanooga, TN in 1956 and raised in Huntsville, AL. My wife, Nina and I were married in 1988. We’ve lived outside Gurley, AL in a wooded mountain cove since 1990. I originally puttered around in my parent’s garage as a teen making things out of metal, especially steel. It wet my appetite and gave me a basic understanding of the material's properties. Through my education and work experience during the years which followed, I picked up a strong foundation of skills involving interior home design & furnishings, architectural design, construction, and wood working. Beginning in 2001, I turned my focus back to metal, this time in MY garage. I read all that I could find, attended classes, and experimented a lot. By 2004 I had built the shop I now work in. I finally left my day job and became a full time artist/sculptor in 2007.
I now dedicate all of my time and energy to designing and fabricating the metal wall art listed here on my site. I am currently focused on creating portraits inspired by iconic figures from everyday life past and present. I also routinely experiment in other subject matter.
