Naturally Beautiful
3D laser-cut wood sculptures created in Grand Rapids, MI
An Engineer with an Artistic Edge
Rob Patterson Art melds the technical skill of engineering with free-flowing artistic expression. Using the vastness of the natural world and the depths of the human experience as inspiration, Rob translates his unique vision into complex, mind-bending sculptures.
To create one of his laser-cut or layered wood artworks, Rob first starts by bringing his vision to life in 3D modeling software. He then laser cuts, sands, and stains each individual piece of wood by hand, painstakingly piecing it together. As you can imagine, this intricate art form has been a (delightful) challenge. Rob continues to push the boundaries of both creativity and technical precision to share a little bit of beauty and wonder with his viewers.
