Rip Caswell is an artist dedicated to creating public art that enlivens community space. With each sculpture Rip is capable of telling the many stories related to specific regions, people and wildlife. By commissioning Rip Caswell to produce a unique work of art not only does the client acquire an original and high quality bronze sculpture, he or she will also know the pride of playing a major role in the creation of something distinctive and beautiful that will last for many lifetimes to come.

Rip has worked with a variety of governmental and private entities to create sanctuary like settings that tell stories and create moods, while staying true to the intended use of the art space as dictated. The process used by Rip Caswell Sculptures in any commissioned project, from design concept to completion, involves client input and approval at every stage, as well as collaboration with designers, architects and landscape architects as needed.

Story telling is a key element in Rip’s approach to sculpture. The transformation from concept to emotion to reality is accomplished by creating figures and depictions that are accurate and familiar. Each work of art tells a unique story and evokes emotion.

Research and knowledge are key elements in Rip’s approach to artwork. Research for monument projects is centered on three basic factors: the past, the present and conceptual plans for the artwork space as related by the client. After gaining a commission, Rip focuses on learning all that he can about the chosen subject.

This process combined with Rip’s availability and accessibility to the client ensures that requirements for the project are met to the client’s satisfaction and within the project timeline.
