Whale Watching

Steel artist Chris Crooks took a deep dive when he made this stunning whale-tail sculpture. Placed in your garden, it creates the illusion of a massive mammal swimming though the earth. Look closer and youā€™ll discover that its shape is formed from hundreds of smaller fish and starfishā€”a powerful reminder of the seaā€™s entire ecosystem. Built to last and to weather beautifully, this outdoor art piece will impress anyone who revels in natureā€™s amazing creations, no matter how big or small. Handmade in Arizona.

ā€œI started out from my garage. As the business grew, and my wifeā€™s and neighbors' patience stretched, it was time to move to an industrial space. There I can bang and grind at all hours of the night. It's 1,000 square feet of pure metalworking nirvana.ā€

Chris Crooks took a winding road to get to where he is nowā€”creating imaginative lawn sculptures inspired by the Southwest landscape he calls home. After graduating from the Art Institute of Philadelphia, Chris worked in advertising, then ran a printing business with his wife, while painting during his free time. It was when the couple moved to Tucson that Chris collaborated with a metal art manufacturer and fell in love with the art form. He now designs and creates sculptures in his studio at the foot of the Santa Rita Mountains. "I always wanted to make a living doing something genuinely enjoyable," he says. "To get up in the morning raring to go, and never having enough time to do everything you want to do."
