Led by Keith Turman & Jaime Turman and their team of visionary artists, craftspeople, and skilled fabricators, this innovative company takes on ambitious projects that push the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of sculpture, public art, exhibit, and experiential design. Each project combines technical precision with emotive impact, leaving a powerful mark on communities and cultural destinations alike.
Keith Turman
CEO/President
Keith Turman is an honest innovator determined to create perfection. Turman’s “all things cosmic” mantra reverberated with Bob “Daddy-O” Wade when asked to assist the Texas legend early in his career. Keith is a planner and a thinker. Most works are commissioned with direction from the start. Every job has its challenges and is always an adventure. He enjoys working with a variety of materials because they each suit a different purpose. His work can be found at museums, restaurants, businesses, and private residences all over the country. He has worked with nightclubs, advertising agencies, architecture firms, film studios, and video game developers across the country.
Jaime Turman
Creative Director
Jaime is quite the gypsy and called many places home, from Utah to South Africa, before landing in Springfield, Missouri. She is an accomplished jewelry maker. Guided by her intuition, she thoughtfully selects the stones, artfully wraps and twists them together in sterling silver. She is an expert on the healing properties of minerals and uses this knowledge as she creates her pieces. In addition she is a Reiki master and massage therapist and seamstress. She also enjoys drawing and painting.

Nathan Hoffman
Sculptor/Welder/Designer
Nathan Hoffman’s work grows from a reverence to the landscape and the notion of creation. The endless textures, fractals, and colors of the earth continue to inspire him. The process he works with is just as much in tune with how the outside world is created and transformed; by water, pressure, heat, chance, repetition, and time.
After graduating from the University of Kansas in 2012 with his MFA, Nathan worked as an Imagery Specialist for Bass Pro Shops travelling from New York to Colorado to Alaska building large scale nature dioramas. It was an opportunity to build things much larger than he ever had before, and an opportunity to expand his knowledge of materials and construction.
