Hand-Painted Steel Gila Monster Sculpture

A Gila monster rendered in steel with a hand-painted beaded pattern, capturing the desert's most distinctive lizard.

Size / Dimensions

This sculpture measures approximately 15" long x 11" wide x 2" high.

Material / Construction

Cut steel, hand-painted and sealed. Every piece is individually painted, so pattern and color placement will vary slightly.

Finish Options

Indoor Coat: hand-painted and sealed with a durable protective coat suitable for sheltered outdoor or indoor display.

Outdoor Coat: our most durable option — an automotive-grade glossy clear coat built for pieces facing prolonged outdoor exposure.

Where It Works

Desert gardens, patios, courtyards, and among rock and cactus plantings.

Display / Mounting

This is a freestanding sculpture and does not require wall mounting.

Made in Tucson

Every piece is cut, cleaned, naturally rusted, and finished by hand in our Tucson, Arizona shop.

Custom Work

We welcome custom requests — different sizes, finishes, or related Southwestern designs. Large-scale residential, commercial, hospitality, and architectural commissions are also welcome. Please reach out before ordering to discuss what's possible.

Important Notes

- Each piece is individually hand-painted, so color placement, pattern, and small details will vary from piece to piece.
- Even a sealed, painted finish may eventually show wear or exposed rust if the coating is scratched, chipped, or damaged.
- Production time may vary depending on size, selected finish, fabrication schedule, rust development, and clear coating.
- Colors may appear slightly different depending on lighting and screen settings.
