Ward Brinegar
I had a 42 year career as an artist blacksmith. Dedication to fine craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail, and excellent service to the client were the hallmarks of my work from the beginning. After 14 years working at a living history museum in Nebraska, I lived and worked in and around Santa Fe for the last 28 years of my career. My blacksmithing work was primarily custom residential, although I completed several significant commissions for commercial buildings, especially hotels. My work can be seen at www.harmonyforge.com.
I retired from my blacksmithing career in 2018. After 6 years on the road in a fifth wheel, I settled in Truth or Consequences. Copper embossing is a medium I took up several years before I retired to so I could continue pursuing creative metalwork, but with lighter materials and tools. and to explore new artistic boundaries. Among the subjects I have explored are NM adobe churches, Mimbres designs, petroglyphs, landscapes and flowers.
