A collection of work from Tucson metal artist Jon Watson. Jon's work is based on the organic fluidity of nature combined with the raw strength of steel. His work includes functional metal art such as lighting, sconces, doors, gates, fences and desks along with fine art sculptures and garden sculptures.

Transcript of The Metal Gardener Edition 2

The Metal Garden, located in Tucson, Arizona, creates unique, organic, creative metal sculptures.

Born in the South, I grew up in a world of incredible green plant life. After serving in the Army, I moved back to my beautiful, lush home town of Atlanta. I graduated from the Art Institute of Atlanta with a degree in visual communications.

For the next 17 years I sat behind a computer doing graphic design. During those 17 years, I searched for the perfect job, one that would inspire me.

Always surrounded by plants, I toyed with the idea of becoming a gardener, landscaper or nursery worker. It wasn’t until I discovered metal in the fall of 2005 that I knew I had found my calling. From there, along with my wife’s help, I combined my love of organic forms with my love of raw steel to create The Metal Gardener.
