Grant Massey had a long career as a custom building contractor and designer in the Delaware/Maryland beach resort area before returning to an earlier interest of working in metal.  While attending the University of Michigan art department in the lat '60s, Grant specialized in creating metal and wood sculpture.  In 1991, he made his first copper and cedar yardlight from leftover building materials a a housewarming present for his brother-in-law.

    A local retailer encouraged Grant to make more lights for resale and to enter local craft shows.  Other artist friends gave him guidance in making the decision to pursue his craft as a full time vocation.  After being accepted to several important craft shows in 1992-93, the demand for Grant's work grew steadily.

    Grant Massey's line of work now includes a wide variety of indoor and outdoor lamps, garden sculpture and furniture.  His pieces have appeared in museums, galleries and private homes throughout the U.S.  In 1999, the Department of State purchased on of his mobiles for the new American embassy in Ottawa, Canada.
