About the artist:

Connecticut native Mark Andre Colbert is a product designer, business owner, and creative metal sculptor. Invention, design, and prototyping are his specialty; however, his current passion is artistic, the forming and shaping of steel at his Waterbury “Metal Farm.”

Using rusted steel sheets, automobile exhaust piping, steel plating and other recycled steel, Colbert fabricates both large and small sculptures, including some that are illuminated and activated by sound or motion.

He has been featured in The New York Times, Hartford Courant, and numerous online art publications. Colbert’s businesses are located in West Hartford and Waterbury.

The University of Connecticut Health Center’s collection of fine arts serves to enhance the environment and promote the sense of a caring community for patients, visitors, staff and students. Art is selected, acquired and exhibited by the UCHC Art Advisory Committee. To view a selection of the Health Center’s permanent collection visit: http://auxiliary.uchc.edu/art.
