Bloom Again Metal Art

 

 

Welcome to Bloom Again Metal Art, the home of Richard Arfsten’s unique metal yard art and wall hangings.  We embrace the practice of Wabi-Sabi – the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection.  Because these one-of-a-kind, primitive, folk art sculptures are created from recycled / upcycled / repurposed metals they may not be perfect — but that’s part of their charm! Enjoy them inside your home or displayed outdoors in the garden.

Please visit BloomAgainMetalArt on Etsy to view and purchase currently available items.

About Richard Arfsten

 

Arfsten Art Montage

 

Grandma always said, “Richard, you have ants in your pants.” I fidgeted and couldn’t sit still — always had to be busy and hated to get bored. Seventy-some years later I’m still that way —  I have to keep busy — making art and inventing new projects. No one will ever accuse me of being a “couch potato” — I don’t even own a couch!

I am a many-faceted artist, with sculpture being my first love. It is characterized by a variety of styles and subjects with forms ranging from large abstract pieces to traditional figures to one-of-a-kind metal flowers. Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, and cast iron are the metals I work in, doing all of the fabrication and most of the casting myself.

I am a perpetual student and teacher of art. I’m constantly seeking new processes and love to share my passion with others.
