ART / FRAMING


COPPER, BRASS AND ALUMINUM ARE THE METALS THAT THE ARTIST WORKS ON

The Portraits are generally shown here to demonstrate the artist’s style and range in this medium to encourage you to commission a Portrait of yourself, your loved ones/friends and/or business associates. The Brass portraits can serve as a prestigious Centerpiece on an Awards Wall since many awards already include brass in the design. A clear sharp focus photo 5”x7” or larger can be used by us as reference.



The International Metal Masks are designed and created by Artist J.W. Ford. They are the artist’s interpretation and expression of the beautiful face of humanity here on Planet Earth and do not purport to be specific representations of any particular division. The masks and some of the portraits are available in a signed and numbered limited edition of 7 originals.
