Welcome to Metal Dream Designs
We have created this website to display and sale a unique selection of functional and decorative art by
artist/sculptor Edward Goodon. His creations are unique. He creates them from a variety of new and recycled
materials and his reportoire includes work from comical to abstract to functional pieces with a twist. Originally
creating pieces for his our garden, he has expanded to cover many different areas of decorating and landscaping.
These pieces were made to enhance a garden or patio, complete a landscaping project or create a focal point for
interior decorating projects. All of the pieces are original - as with a true artist, he will not reproduce the same
piece twice - each piece seems to take on its own personality.
There is a variety of pieces. Outdoor pieces for your landscape or garden range from very large to very small
sculptures and wall hangings - some are abstract, some are character pieces and some are functional pieces.
The indoor artwork includes pictures for your wall in abstract, character, medieval and native themes as well as
smaller sculptures.
Most of the artwork displayed here are available for purchase. If you are interested in a piece of artwork or would
like to send a comment to the artist, please feel free - email at Goodon75@hotmail.com or call directly at (250) 766-5999. We would love to hear from you.

About the Artist
Metal Dream Designs is a family business - husband and wife. Born and raised in rural Manitoba, as children we were inspired by the natural surroundings. After working most of our lives in an industrial settings, we bought an acreage
in 1999 (Carr’s anding area) that inspired us to get back to what we enjoy the most in life.
Edward Goodon, Artist/sculptor
The creative force behind Metal Dream Designs, Edward's spirit soars as a metal sculptor. In his words "beginning of
my explorations in form may be a type of material, an idea, scrap on the floor, a vision, a sketch, or nothing at all:
just pure play. I try to create sculptures that play on the basic nature and ruggedness of the metals I use. I believe
it's necessary to ensure that each sculpture expresses just the right emotion".
Welded steel, recycled metal and more come to life as Edward sculpts them into fluid, organic forms and “personalities".
“I guess I’ve always been an Artist, building sculptures and art pieces has been a hobby of mine for the past 30 years".
His work over the years has evolved into a diverse collection of garden sculptures and decorative indoor art pieces.
"My ancestry is metis and this influence can be seen in several of my earlier pieces.
Some of the items used were actual items my dad and I used when trapping and hunting as a young man".
After many compliments and much encouragement from everyone who has seen his work, he decided that it was time to give
his work the exposure it deserved. With the help of his wife, he began bringing his work to the public with the creation
of Metal Dream Designs in 2005.
Debbie Goodon, Marketing Manager
Debbie has been a management accountant for the past 30 years. She has handled the management/business affairs of
several large companies in a variety of industries over the years. More recently, she has been involved in marketing,
including website creation. "Debbie has been instrumental in creating the website and working “shows”
that we attend every year as well as “hands on” work involved in bringing the artwork to life" says Edward.
Metal Dream Designs has a dedicated following, with several buyers purchasing multiple pieces of artwork. The artwork
is displayed in residential gardens and homes around Kelowna, Winfield, Vernon, Carr’s Landing, Whiterock, Victoria and
Calgary. Branching out in to commercial projects and custom pieces has added a new dimention and an additional source of
satisfaction.
Ed enjoys working on industrial, commercial and home improvement projects as well. He has worked on a variety of
projects including fabricating a boat dock frame, refurishing a boat lift, and building a spiral staircase and deck
railings. He has also customized trailors with gates and rakes. With his talents and creative approach, he can solve
problems from a unique perspective. You can see some of his projects on "Custom Projects" page on this website.
We hope you enjoy our artwork as much as we enjoy creating it.
