How We Work Together

Your company's message and mission are important as they may hold a key to color, design and proportion. Please review the Balle Signature Sculpture Series; Gold and Silver Vessels, Water Sculptures, Wall Sculptures, Dancer Series, Heart Chalices, to see which series speaks to you, and best reflects your vision and goals.

My signature sculptures are customized for you and your company with specific design elements such as color, precious metals and size/dimensions. For example, the wall sculpture series may be commissioned in groupings from 3-12, in varying sizes and colors, and be hand-etched with patterns in 23-karat gold, silver or cooper.

A second tier of commissioning involves my designing and creating a personalized corporate sculpture or sculptures series that may, or for instance, complement your company’s logo or echo architectural details of your company’s headquarters. You decide.
