With a career spanning 23 years, Matt has dedicated his life to fabricating and sculpting metals into stunning works of art.
Matt's expertise as a metal sculptor is vast and varied. His range of specialization extends from intricately designed railings, signage and functional art, to awe-inspiring public sculptures. He also creates exquisite home decor pieces that beautifully blend functionality and artistic expression.
Beyond his artistic pursuits, Matt is an avid angler and fly fishing guide. He finds solace and inspiration in the great outdoors, often immersing himself in nature's tranquility. This connection with the natural world greatly influences his work, as he infuses his sculptures with the spirit of the wilderness.
"The flow of unsymmetrical vines, branches and water flows can present endless patterns for sculpture or railing balustrades," says Hart.
Driven by the urge to create everything custom, these designs are drifting into his favorite passion, fishing. From the shop of Hartist Metals hatched The Forged Fly.
As the owner of The Forged Fly Metal Sculptures, Matt has found a way to combine his passion for metalwork and his love for fly fishing. His creations pay homage to the art of fly tying and serve as a testament to his deep appreciation for this timeless sport. Each sculpture is meticulously crafted, capturing the essence of fly fishing in a tangible form.
