Craig Hess

Craig Hess has been creating fine sculptures, paintings and numerous works of art since 1968.  For the past 40 years he has been specializing in the very finest, limited edition and one of a kind copper and bronze sculptures of their kind. 

As a gallery owner, sculptor and model/mold maker for Walt Disney through most of the 60's and 70's, his dedication has led to distribution of his numerous editions to art collectors, galleries and celebrities worldwide. 

Renowned for his Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola and Flower Cart editions, there seems to be no limit to the detail in his creations.  To this date C. Hess has invested more than one hundred thousand hours into his collections.  He has created everything by hand and torch; mastering all the intricate details, even the tiny Coke and Pepsi bottles, seats, tires, characters, etc.  With no outside help each piece is a culmination of his many varied fields of work experience, making "The Hess Collection" truly the most unique collection of its kind!

Dean Hess

Dean Hess began learning the art of sculpting from his father back in 1985 when he was 14 years old.  In the beginning, Dean pursued the art of sculpting as more of a hobby than a career and instead chose a career in law enforcement as a police officer.

During his thirteen year career in law enforcement, he never lost his passion for sculpting and in his spare time continued to develop his sculpting skills under the wing of his father.

In July of 2008, Dean retired from the police force due to a back injury.  He chose to look at the event as a blessing and was grateful that he was being given an opportunity to dedicate himself full-time to his first love of metal sculpting and creating.

Dean draws on his passion and appreciation for the Hawaiian Islands and other ports of paradise when creating many of his unique and intriguing limited edition sculptures. 

Each Sculpture in Dean's collection is an original, entirely hand made piece, utilizing copper, bronze, and the oxy-acetylene torch.
