Sculpting Stories That Inspire

Art Isn’t Just Something
You Place In A Room-It’s A
Reflection Of Who You Are

The right piece has the power to transform a space,

evoke emotion, and create a personal connection that

lasts a lifetime.

 

In a world where so much is mass-produced, finding

something deeply meaningful and unique can feel

impossible.

That's where Ricky Smith comes in.

Max Howard, Ricky's 
Grandfather & Mentor

Mentored by his grandfather, renowned

sculptor Max Howard, Ricky grew up

watching raw metal take shape in

extraordinary ways.

Spending hours in the studio, he

learned the time-honored techniques of

cutting, welding, and oxidizing metals

like copper and brass, but more

importantly, he learned how to infuse

creativity with purpose.

The Artist Behind
The Work

For Ricky, sculpting isn't just a craft—

it's a way of bringing stories to life in

metal.

Every piece he creates is infused with

meaning, shaped with care, and

designed to spark emotion, connection,

and inspiration.

His work stands apart because it is not

just decoration—it is art with soul.

Beyond the Metal: How I See Art & Life

At the heart of my art are my Soul Values—the guiding principles that define how I approach my
art and the creative process, and for the experience I want my customers to experience.

When you bring one of my sculptures

into your space, you're not just buying

art-you're investing in a story, a feeling,

and a connection.

Whether it's a bespoke commissioned

piece that tells your personal journey

or a made-to-order sculpture that adds

depth to your home, you're bringing in

something real, something

with soul.
