About Dwayne S. Cranford

Dwayne S. Cranford, a Colorado native began his career in art by applying his welding skills to create steel sculptures. His figurative sculptures are created from materials  such as bike chains, concrete nails and scrap steel that had been discarded. He recently began combining stone with the metal to create durable, weatherproof furniture.

Cranford’s work has been shown around Colorado, Nevada, California, Wyoming and in other parts of the United States. It can be found in Old Town Fort Collins (CO), the collection of The Living Planet Aquarium in Salt Lake City (UT), and numerous private collections. 

Artist Statement

My rock chairs have been compared to something found on the set of the Flintstones, but great care is given to ensure they are both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. The stone added to discarded steel results in functional furniture inspired by Mother Nature. They are not only weatherproof, but integrate easily into landscapes and cityscapes without intruding on the surrounding beauty.
