From Dream

to Reality.

The idea for Steel Moon Art Studios started in 2012 as a bonding experience between a mom and her daughter to put out unique, beautiful pieces of art in an accessible way. Due to moves and some major unexpected events, it wasn’t able to be truly pursued. Still, it remained as a spark in the minds of the two women until it finally was able to take its first steps into becoming a reality.

Verne enjoys designing, making the pictures in her mind first come to life on her computer screen before fine-tuning the piece to the point it is ready for her to cut out in a blaze of fire and steel. Working with her husband, Doug, the crucial steps of grinding, priming and prepping the pieces for the next stage of its creation take place.

If the piece is destined for a simple, clean look then Doug is quick to finish it in a beautiful black, or primes it for further refinements, or leaves it for nature to create whatever design it pleases.

However, if an artistic flare is called for then it’s given to the couple’s daughter, Sammi. Her strength is capturing the combination of reality and whimsy in each brush stroke. All of her works are hand-painted so are one-of-a-kind with no two pieces alike. Therefore, whichever one the customer chooses, it is especially their own.

Once Sammi has finished, then the metal receives a final step of a protective clear coating. Now it is ready for the people who can appreciate the beauty of what the family has made.

The goal of Steel Moon Art Studios is to bring people together through art and creativity, self-expression and good old-fashioned community. We want to give back that spark of joy with our creations. Working together in fulfilling what the mind envisions.

Steel Moon Art Studios could not have gotten the start it has without the undying support of friends: Cletus Rowan and Shelly Platz -------- who have generously used their own time, talents, and resources to help make this dream a reality.

Whether you choose to display our art outside or inside your home, you can do it knowing that you too are helping make a dream come true.
