Having a blog is a completely new experience for my husband (Mark) and myself (Mary). But we’ve “met” so many new and interesting people through our customer’s at ArtisticMetalArt, that we thought it would be a fun idea to have a way to interact with our customers, sharing different ideas, thoughts, & maybe even life-changing experiences!
We don’t have a brick & mortar storefront, we’re entirely on-line, which gives us the time & freedom to go on “treasure hunt’s” for different and unique western decor ideas.
We personally choose all of our own products ~~ and changes are made to many of them. Something as simple as changing or adding colors to the Texas Barn Stars or as complicated as covering a barn star with a Brazilian cowhide and putting 100 star studs around the outline of the star. Painting and adding western concho’s to a metal bar stool made from a tractor seat to “dress it up”. Item’s like this are only available at ArtisticMetalArt or at one of our distributor’s.
Adding his own personal touch to a product always means something special to Mark. It gives him a sense of accomplishment and happiness to create whatever he’s doing ~~ and a part of that happiness comes from the knowledge that others will see and enjoy it! Handmade items seem to have a timeless appeal.
We would love to hear from you, our customers, past, present, and future, on what you would like to read about, talk about, or learn about.

I have had the great pleasure and unique opportunity to visit with Mark and Mary at their home and workshop. It is everything you would expect it to be. He built the workshop himself, with a dirt floor. As you walk into the workshop, there are various pieces of the Western art hanging from the ceiling, either waiting for finishing touches, or in the drying phase. I have personally watched him take painstaking care in painting these works of art. Whether a piece is going to an individual or in a commercial building, you can be assured that your metal art will get the same level of professional care and attention.
As Mark is working outside, Mary is hard at work on her computer. She spends all day and night constantly upgrading her websites, or processing their orders. I found that she even gives a personal touch when someone places an order by following up with an email, thanking them for their order, and asking for any suggestions to help improve the sites or service.
I will continue to shop with Western Metal Art, and want to thank Mark and Mary for their hospitality during my visit.

I like the idea of Western art but I wasn’t familiar with where to get it. A friend introduced this site to me. I really liked the designs so I purchased some to put in my house. I really liked this site. I’ve used it a lot of times for gifts.
