Discover original metal art handcrafted by California metal sculptor Rhonda Kap. Working primarily in copper and bronze, Rhonda creates one-of-a-kind sculptures, functional art, lighting, Judaica, ritual objects, and commissioned pieces for homes, gardens, synagogues, institutions, and meaningful spaces.
Every piece is individually formed by hand without molds or mass-production methods. From smaller ceremonial objects to large-scale sculptural installations, Rhonda transforms copper and bronze into expressive artwork inspired by organic forms, movement, nature, and tradition.
Original Copper & Bronze Metal Art
Rhonda’s work begins with raw metal and the flame of a torch. Using oxyacetylene welding equipment, she shapes, heats, hammers, welds, and finishes copper and bronze to create artwork with texture, movement, dimension, and character.
Each piece is an original and is signed by the artist. No molds are used, so every sculpture develops its own individual form and details.
Her body of work spans decorative and functional sculpture, allowing collectors and clients to discover artwork for many different environments and purposes.

Handcrafted Copper & Bronze Lighting
Lighting can be functional while also becoming an original work of sculpture.
