DeWees Design is a Collaborative Design and Art Studio, originally formed in my beloved town of Orange, California in 2005, then forged within the furnaces of both great successes and dismal failures…then re-born again in Orange in 2016, in order to continue the journey of exploring design solutions with both artistic and technical merit while pursuing a life-long love and dedication to the art of sand sculpture…and the unique and inextricable bond that has been created between them.

This website is dedicated to each and every Mentor, Colleague and Teacher who has helped, encouraged, pushed and defined my career over the last 35+ years in both fields of endeavor. Any success I have achieved to date is due in its entirety to your places in my professional, artistic or personal lives.

This website is now also dedicated to the memory of both my Mother and Father, without whose unmeasurable love, unyielding support and constant encouragement and accountability, I would never have achieved any of the things that I have set out to do in my professional, artistic, personal or spiritual lives.
