This resume has one name at the top of the page. Like a genealogical page, it branches into two forks for two brothers: SCOTT TUTTLE and SEAN TUTTLE.

Together we join forces to express the beauty and fury of nature through art. It is our legacy to interpret our love of the arts and of the outdoors through creativity.

GOAL

To create visually stunning and thought provoking works of art. Incorporating the elements of metal, earth, air, fire and water, we blend organic with synthetic specializing in lighting our metal creations. “Making Raw Metal Come to Life,” we create artwork inspired by our everyday surroundings, by surfing in the ocean and by snowboarding to the bottom of a mountain. We amalgamate metal and lighting materials recycled from local industry into creative fusions. We want to be inspired, travel the world and present our artistic expression through our installations.
POTENTIAL

We have the capability to design, fabricate, crate and ship. We can oversee subcontracted lighting needs and site preparation, crane installation of the final product, unveiling and celebration of large sculptures. We have experience from start to finish whether outdoors or indoors, floor, wall or ceiling sculptures or projects. We can create abstract, geometric and figurative work. We can grind the surface of metal to create effects of movement and surface depth. We can design powerful lighted freestanding or mounted metal structures, large sculptures, conference tables and wall coverings. We can shape metal converting a two-dimensional piece into three dimensions.

We do not have any pieces in a museum collection. Yet.

ACHIEVEMENTS

We have designed and created artwork for aesthetic appreciation, for practical use and combined to serve both purposes. We have made creative ideas manifest. We have made presentation awards and constructed custom functional signage, interior surface coverings, tables, lighting covers, glass signs, shelving and display pedestals. We have made custom artwork for collectors, commercial and personal clients. Our art and ornamentation are on display in public, corporate, commercial and personal, residential, landscaping and nautical settings and for the motorsports and watersports industries.
