Welcome
To The Great Northwest!
Thank You for
Visiting My Site!
As a resident of the Great Pacific Northwest
it's not hard to find inspiration or an outlet for all of one's creativity
and imagination. I pour this creative energy into unique, one of a kind
works of art!
I'm
Bob Kimball
I have been a brick and stone mason for 27 years. I have always considered
it to be an art. In high school I took art class, and then bumped it up a
notch when I went to Olympic College. Just one of the classes I took there
was in jewelry design. In 1997, I started working with glass at a glass
blowing studio just outside my home town, where I quickly learned the trade.
A part of my job there was to weld the metal brackets that held our
sculptures.
Combining The Elements
Now, I'm combining metal, glass, stone, and
concrete. My favorite metals to use are Bronze, Copper, and Stainless steel.
Sometimes I will use fused glass mounted in a metal sculpture, other
sculptures I blow glass into a metal frame. Some glass I layer then fuse
together with metal inside.
I also enjoy creating
beautiful & functional outdoor fire pits and fireplace hearth designs as
well as concrete
salmon and halibut stepping stones. This started years back when I was still
doing masonry work. When the end of the day rolled around I still had some
mortar left, so I would carve it with a trowel on the back of my truck. Now
I've taken it to another level.
Delivered World Wide
I've been honored to deliver
my artwork far & wide from Alaska to England.
