Connecticut native Mark Andre Colbert<\/strong><\/a> is a product designer, business owner, and creative metal sculptor. Invention, design, and prototyping are his specialty; however, his current passion is artistic, the forming and shaping of steel at his Waterbury \u201cMetal Farm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using rusted steel sheets, automobile exhaust piping, steel plating and other recycled steel, Colbert fabricates both large and small sculptures, including some that are illuminated and activated by sound or motion.<\/p>\n

He has been featured in The New York Times, Hartford Courant<\/em>, and numerous online art publications. Colbert\u2019s businesses are located in West Hartford and Waterbury.<\/p>\n

Art is selected, acquired and exhibited by the UCHC Art Advisory Committee. To view a selection of the Health Center\u2019s permanent collection visit: http:\/\/auxiliary.uchc.edu\/art<\/a>.<\/p>\n
