Sculpting a better life

I don't believe my life would be where it is without beating Stage 4 cancer. Coming out the other side changed everything. I make art full time now, and I am present for my family every day.

Along the way, my donated sculptures have raised $120,000 for local cancer organizations.

There was no schooling for these techniques. Hand hammering, texturing, welding and grinding let the metal speak for itself. I want you to wonder how a piece was made, and what it was made of.

My favorite projects bring someone else's vision to life. You have a space and an idea you can't quite picture yet. We draw, we talk, and I build it in my own style.

Codie works solo in his studio near Gunnison, Colorado. His son joins in from time to time.
