About Brian R. Owens
Brian R. Owens is a professional sculptor with a practice based in central Florida. He is best known for “one of a kind” bronze sculpture that he creates mostly on a commission basis.

See Owens’ Instagram page at BrianOwensArt or just click on the social media icon at the top and bottom of this page. Sculpture repair and restoration is one of the Art Services he provides. However, it takes more than sculpting skills to do this well: You have to enjoy fabrication and bringing objects back to their original condition.

Planning an unusually complex plaster sculpture repair
“All of my clients have been extremely satisfied. I repaired my first sculpture for a corporate client in the early 1990’s. I’m quite familiar with the various methods and materials. I’ve declined a few projects that didn’t match my skill set and I’ve been late a couple of times, but I have never failed. I have repaired and maintained large, extremely high-end bronze sculpture. Most of the pieces I repair are of low market value but have immense sentimental value to their owners. They might as well be made of gold. Clients trust their intuitions and send their sculpture to me having never met me. They respect the level of effort it takes to repair sculpture properly and I respect their trust.”
