We are pleased to present Glenn Hinz as a guest artist at The Copper Works. You can find several of his fine art pieces here on display and for sale at our Gallery.

Glenn Hinz has made copper relief sculpture, closely associated with Sonoran culture and the Southwest, his medium. His copper relief sculptures are beautiful examples of fine Southwestern Sonoran art. The Native American cultures in this area have a traditional and exciting beauty, and nowhere is the soul and essence of Southwestern art more striking than in the works of Glenn Hinz. His copper relief sculptures are shown at galleries throughout Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. In addition to the work he does for his large following of private owners, Glenn has had numerous commissions for major hotels, shopping centers, banks, corporate offices and government buildings, including the Arizona Superior Court Building.

Glenn has been a full-time professional artist for over 25 years, achieving his uniquely timeless sculptures by the use of various tooling and hammering techniques, many of which were developed by him. Glenn works on both sides of the metal, allowing the creation of many different dimensions and textures. He painstakingly colors selected areas of his creations using chemical oxidants and small watercolor brushes with a degree of control and enhanced effect that places his work on an incomparable level. Each piece is meticulously cleaned several times throughout the process and hand-buffed to completion. To ensure the lasting quality of each piece, a minimum of two coats of metal lacquer is applied. In keeping with the quality of each piece of art, and to make it an extension of the art itself, all mattng and framing is also done at Glenn's studio.
