About Steve Grater

Steve Grater likes to bend metal into compound curves with self-made tools. He studied blacksmithing with Frank Turley and bronze casting with Tom Barringer, assisted sculptor Jerry Harris, and has been making and selling metal art since 2000. Techniques for making jewelry, vessel forming and repoussé inform the aesthetic of his sculptural work. Steve's sculptures have been exhibited and collected throughout the American west. In 2024, he was an artist-in-residence at Buffalo Creek Art Center in Gardnerville, Nevada, where he completed a monumental commission for the sculpture park. Steve is represented in southern Arizona by Más y Más Gallery in Tubac.
