Raised in an ecologically conscious household, the importance of conserving our planet’s resources was instilled in Colin from an early age, although his parents had mixed emotions when he took their message to heart and searched through their neighbors’ garbage on his way home from elementary school retrieving appliances and furniture he could repair. While studying metal sculpting at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston he earned a degree in Philosophy from Tufts University in 1987. His education from that time included apprenticeships with a machinist, race car fabricator, and public art sculptor. In the next couple of decades he continued to master his craft, restoring a variety of antique vehicles before focusing on sculpting. Colin has been granted a series of patents for his designs, which have won national and international awards for their aesthetic, technical, and innovative qualities, including in 2012 the Exhibitor’s Choice Gold Award at the Smithsonian Craft Show and the Most Interesting Products Award at the American Society of Landscape Architects national expo. Committed to a sustainable lifestyle he resides and works within an intentional community in the San Francisco Bay Area.
