Meet The Artist

WHO ARE YOU, WHERE ARE YOU FROM, & WHAT DO YOU DO?
My name is Wesley L Stewart, an artist, and professor. Born and raised in Augusta, Georgia, I create private and Public Art. When not involved in my own work, I collaborate with other artists and creatives

DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS.
I turn sketches, illustrations, photos, or whatever else into metal art, using a CNC plasma cutter, welding, and other means at my disposal.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
My inspiration comes from sketching; tinkering in the studio; color and lines; working with other creatives, and reading about artists while studying their artwork.

FUN FACT ABOUT YOU.
I sometimes work with my beautiful and talented wife – Colleen Beyer Stewart – who is also an artist and educator. Not only did we meet during graduate school, but also lived three houses down from each other at Georgia Southern. Our birthdays are a day apart as well.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT DOWNTOWN AUGUSTA.
I love all the sidewalks that allow people to walk and not have to drive from one location to another. It is also where all the cool kids hangout 😉

WHY DO YOU LOVE TO DESIGN, CREATE + MAKE?
It is my DNA to express myself and create.

WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD SHARE WITH OTHER ARTISTS + MAKERS?
You delay success with procrastination. Get up, work hard, execute, repeat.

Custom orders are always available.
