A
s a direct metal sculpture artist and owner of Creative Steel Works in
Breezy Point, Minn., Jeff Kreitz has spent a lifetime using the colors
and characteristics of steel, bronze, brass, copper, and aluminum to
create unique abstract and realistic designs that will last. His works include
three-dimensional metal sculptures, metal furniture, metal murals and fireplace
doors, as well as corporate and community symbols.
Kreitz skillfully bridges two vastly different worlds in metalworking. He has
pushed himself to build a level of skill and shop capacity to create estate gates,
ornamental fencing and custom boat lifts. Kreitz recently completed a gate for
a 50-acre estate in Medina, Minn.
