Since 1994, Rick De Troyer has provided creative alternatives to clients, builders, designers and the community in Chelsea, Mich. His portfolio includes door hardware, signs and planters for commercial office and restaurants. Public art sculpture is the favorite. Having always been intrigued with making things, being aware of nature and trying to limit the use of resources on this planet so to reduce global warming. Recycling is a big part of his art and does this by using found objects in the work. They tell a story of their own, along with adding character to art.
