Rebecca Low of Sculptural Metal Gallery & StudioSherry Buffington

Company's mission: To create sculptures that bring great joy to all that own or view them.

Products and/or services: A diversity of large, creative, one-of-a--kind sculptures, some include wind, water and/or fire. Functional furnishings and accessories are, also, available. Most of my work is commissioned. People see the diversity and quality of my work and want me to create a piece especially for them. I have sculptures all over the United States and one owned by a gentleman in the United Kingdom. My business is word of mouth.

Target market: Those individuals and corporations that want unique pieces of sculpture to enhance their homes and facilities. Also, golf courses.

When and why did you join NAWBO? I joined in June, 2005 to meet and learn from other professional women.

Committee involvement: Not yet.

Impact NAWBO has had on your business or professional development: I am anticipating a great deal of impact, but have only been a member for a few months. In those few months, however, I am most impressed with the energy level, creativity and drive of all of the women that I have met.

The best advice you've received: Anything and everything is possible. It seems like a NAWBO mantra.

Advice or strategies: If you treat every customer as you want to be treated and pay great attention to detail, success is yours.

What brings you joy in your work? Giving children and adults, who have not been exposed to art, other than paintings, a new view and showing them how to see things differently. Also, seeing great joy on my customers faces when a piece is installed.

What brings you joy in your personal life? Or What are your interests/hobbies? I have a wonderful and supportive family and friends. I have six children—one of which is my Phantom Poodle, Roxy, and Peety, my 16 year old, uppity kitty, both of which live with me at home. And then I have four 3-year old kitties—Red, White, Blue, and Treetop, all who were left motherless at my gallery. (I have a transient motel next door to me, so I sometimes tease about trying to keep up with the 'Cathouse' next door).

My interests include art, theatre, dance, opera, reading and travel.

Charity support: I support several charities . . . Cancer Care Services, the Food Bank, Women's Haven, Animal Shelters, Aids Interfaith, the Warm Place, Carter Blood Care, the Red Cross plus nonprofits such as the Jubilee Theatre, Bruce Wood Dance Company, Circle Theatre, Stage West, Texas Camarata, the Fort Worth Opera, places of worship and many others.

I donate my gallery and sculpture garden for non-profits to have parties, business meetings and fundraisers. I give sculpture pieces for raffles. Because so many of my sculptures are created from found objects (found objects are what most people call junk!) I facilitate Bible Schools at my gallery and talk about "Trash to Treasure". I also give of my time and money because I have been so blessed. It only seems right to pass those blessings on.

Other organizations: Yes, many of those of which I have mentioned previously and Historic Camp Bowie, Inc and the Fort Worth Chamber. I will say that this past year, I have not been as pro active in these organizations because I just needed a break. However, I, certainly, continue to support them financially and am ready to jump back into things next year.

Book recommendations: I love "Harry Potter". It's so much about friendship and loyalty.

What else would you like your NAWBO sisters to know about you? I love to laugh. I really try to live life to the fullest and don't try to take myself too seriously.
