Oct. 24, 2019—Dallas' art of the craft brings powerhouse creative forces together, writes Rebecca Sherman, home and design editor at Paper City Magazine, a definitive source for fashion, food, home and lifestyle news in Dallas, Houston and greater Texas. Brent Anderson, ('86, B.F.A., Advertising Art), called an "architectural metal maven" by Sherman, is seen to push the limits of creativity. Anderson is the owner of Element Metal LLC in Dallas.

"Before becoming an architectural metal artisan, Canada-born Brent Anderson’s varied career included a stint developing clandestine personal electronic devices for Texas Instruments. Anderson switched gears when he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Design from the University of North Texas, beginning a career as an art director, creative director and co-founder of an agency in Dallas.

"When a client needed a trade show exhibit with little budget, Anderson built it himself. From this experience his career as a maker developed, initially in the advertising world, then building art furniture and finally working as an architectural metal artisan through his company Elemental Design. Anderson has collaborated with such firms as Max Levy Architects, Shipley Architects, Morrison Dilworth + Walls, Hardy Construction and Space Between Design Studios on everything from drawer pulls and staircases to hardscape and the elements of a columbarium."
