The image showcases a series of square concrete slabs leading through a bed of smooth, rounded stones to an architectural structure that resembles faux stone panels. The structure frames the view to another part of the garden, suggesting the presence of water fountains within this serene outdoor setting. Flanking the pathway are neatly planted shrubs and topiaries, adding greenery to the contrasting grey tones of the hardscaping elements.

Meet the owner of Fountain Metalworks

Doug Boyd was born and raised in a small town north of Dallas, Texas. Although just fifteen miles from a modern city, his community was a classic one-high-school town.

After graduating high school, Doug decided to audition for “The Greatest Show on Earth” with Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey. Giving his all, he earned a coveted spot at the prestigious Ringling Clown College. After 10 ½ weeks of intense training, Doug was on the path to realizing his lifelong dream. His hard work paid off, he secured a one-year contract to perform with the circus.

The dream of being a performance artist would begin his journey deeper into the art world. As he lived his dream, the years flew by, soon he realized thirteen years of circus life had passed. Doug had both learned and taught others as his career with Ringling Bros. Circus flourished. During those thirteen years, he met and married and started his family on the road. His children were born into the circus and traveled the country in car #91 of the Ringling Circus train. When his children were two and three years old, he decided to leave the circus life. And he found work in Las Vegas, Nevada, to provide a more traditional life for them.

In Las Vegas, Doug accepted a position with Cirque du Soleil and a new show called LOVE. Cirque provided a familiar community for him and his family as they began to transition from a life of touring. An unexpected opportunity arose when he learned that Cirque hosted an annual gallery exhibition every year. Cirque performers and employees were invited to enter art or sculptures. He designed and created a reclaimed metal guitar complete with gears and screws…which to his delight sold quickly.

Although he was no longer performing, the creative process was growing and shaping a newfound interest in large-scale sculpture. To continue his journey into creating art, he joined the local Burning Man community in Las Vegas. The Burning Man community was about to embark on building a twenty-foot Las Vegas showgirl for the event. The showgirl would be taken to the Burning Man, where it would be burned as is tradition for this event. “Lucky Lady Lucy” was such a hit. A second Las Vegas showgirl sculpture was built and burned on First Friday, the city’s monthly art event. Doug’s quest for creating large art was becoming greater as he visualized things he would bring to life.

After several years in Las Vegas, it was time to leave the neon lights for a more serene location. Doug and his family chose Sedona, Arizona where nature and art were one with the community. He soon found the creative energy of Sedona to inspire beyond what he could have imagined. He received his first commissioned metal sculpture, a spaceship for a local restaurant called The Red Planet Diner.

Although, thriving and loving Sedona, he and his family decided to step into a more simple life for a while. He purchased a retired school bus which he completely remodeled into a home for his family. They spent five years in the school bus home living near the creek in Sedona in a peaceful, serene community.

In 2009, Doug found his way to Phoenix, Arizona where he opened his metal shop. Today, his attention is directed to creating custom art for clients throughout the United States. The first few years, he primarily designed and produced functional art like, metal barn doors, metal water features and desk.

Over the past five years, the focus has turned to custom metal water features. And that’s where we are today.
