Dwayne's Bio
All about
the life of Dwayne
Cranford, Sculptor
As a child Dwayne
spent hours cutting
and shaping pieces
of cardboard paper
to create 3D models
of motorcycles.
Carefully forming
each part to fit the
bike perfectly and
create a replica of
an authentic
motorcycle. Dwayne's
artist talents
emerged at a very
young age. A self
taught artist Dwayne
S. Cranford, a
Colorado native
learned his welding
kills in a foundry
and took them with
him to serve in the
United States Army.
Later Dwayne spent
his days installing
natural gas
pipeline. On his
days off, as a
hobby he began
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. 6
years ago he began
combining stone with
the metal to create
durable,
weatherproof
furniture.
Cranford's work has
been shown around
Colorado, Nevada,
California, Texas,
Wyoming and in other
parts of the United
States. It can be
found at The Inn At
Aspen, Aspen (CO),
The Best Western
Pioneer Court, Lusk
(WY) 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.
