Artists

The Metal Museum has several full-time artists on staff, as well as artists-in-residence living and working on site. Artists complete large-scale commissions for the Museum, as well as private commissions and artwork for exhibition.

Jacob Brown

Jacob brown is an artist and metalworker based out of California. He recently graduated with a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Mr. Brown is currently the Metalsmith intern here at The Museum. Working mostly in steel, his art has often been described as a humanitarian and optimistic statement on contemporary events and culture. Craft and material are not simply a means to and end for Mr. Brown but an intricate part of the message. He loves to work hard and go fishing (hmmm - sounds like Wally).

Mary Catherine Floyd

Mary Catherine Floyd has come to the Museum by way of her hometown, Raleigh, NC and Bucyrus, Missouri. It was Mary Catherine's time in Missouri under the direction of Charlie and Marian McKinney that introduced her to metalworking and the Metals Museum community. Prior to working for the McKinneys, she completed a BFA at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, concentrating in fibers arts. Mary Catherine's focus as a resident artist is the marriage of her knowledge and personal experiences in metal and fiber arts.  Click here to see more of Mary Catherine's work.
