2nd Time Designs Studio

For many years we have teamed up as long-distance truckers, hauling produce from farms to processing plants around the country. We began designing and building our art metal sculptures in 1999 as a creative outlet and a change of pace from life on the road. These days summers are devoted to the highways and winters are spent in the studio.

On the move...

Lou and I are the only creators and we do all the work on every piece, with an occasional hand from my mom, Hazel.

We don't do many shows because our pieces are large and take a lot of room to display. Most of our work is sold from our home. We have no open hours or even a sign outside, but the curious stop in anyway. Word of mouth and the repeat collector keep us creating.

To sell a second piece to someone is so rewarding. We get a lot of people that come to add to their collection after receiving a piece as a gift.
