Welcome to Metal Dream Designs

For anyone who is new to our website, we have a unique selection of functional and decorative art by artist/sculptor Edward Goodon. He creates each piece 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 our garden, he has expanded his repertoire to cover many different areas of decorating and landscaping, fabricating and re-designing. Each piece created 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 as each piece seems to take on its own personality during creation.

Check out the "Feature" page under Newsletter for the latest projects and new pieces for sale.

There is a variety of pieces and projects including the following:

Gallery 1 and 2 - from small to large pieces, this section displays the sculptures currently for sale.

Entrance/Address Signs - we have worked with customers who have rocks at their entrances or have purchased sculptures and customized them with their addresses. Occasionally the client wants an address sign on their home or garage and we love to create those as well.

Gates - we really enjoy creating gates for customers as entrance ways to the special gardens or special backyards. Each gate is created with the customer in mind and can be simplicitic or very creative.

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.
