Hi, my name is Corey.
I am a metal sculptor specializing in works crafted primarily from masonry nails, copper, and steel. My sculptures range from mid-century and modern designs to abstract and life-size body forms.

I am a metal sculptor specializing in works crafted primarily from masonry nails, copper, and steel. My sculptures range from mid-century and modern designs to abstract and life-size body forms.
My fascination with the past fuels my work. I'm drawn to the artistry, craftsmanship, and techniques that have been lost over time. Through extensive research and experimentation, I've developed methods that capture the timeless look and feel of mid-century art while seamlessly fitting into contemporary spaces.
Square masonry nails are my signature medium. I chose them because they stand apart: unique, industrial, and full of character. Before dedicating myself fully to art, I built custom motorcycles and hot rods, but sculpture offered me something more: complete creative freedom. Abstract work, to me, means embracing imperfection and originality.
Family is at the core of everything I do. They're my daily motivation to create art that connects with people from all walks of life, from homeowners to hotel owners, from private collectors to public galleries.
Since 2004, I've produced over 3,000 sculptures worldwide. My pieces, ranging from bold geometric structures to flowing nail compositions, can be found in art galleries, luxury homes, and office spaces across the United States and Europe.
Let's bring your vision to life.
How the work is built
- Hand-welded in the studio. No production line, no subcontracted welds.
- Built from raw stock: copper sheet, mild and stainless steel, square masonry nails.
- Patinas pulled from heat and chemistry rather than pigment.
- Each piece photographed in studio light before it ships.
- Crating built around the work so freight does not compromise the surface.
- Corey is the single point of contact through every commission.
What collectors and clients say
"Corey created an awesome brutalist piece for our mid century remodel. He customized the size for us - we needed something 8 feet across, and vintage was hard to find at that size. I'm so happy with the piece Corey made. He was quick, efficient and professional. I was also impressed with the care and attention to detail in shipping the piece to us in Southern California. I highly recommend Corey, and I love all the compliments we receive when people come into our home."
"Corey made our Coaches special trophy's for the 2018 season. They were these amazing looking Footballs and Field Goals to scale to go along with them. He is an amazing Artist."
"Purchased a mid century modern brutalist sculpture for my 1950s ranch. It is just beautiful and beautifully made. It is difficult to find this type of art but Corey has a large selection on his Etsy store. Would recommend."
"Artistic excellence and professionalism combined. Own a future classic."
