My name is Riva Sazama and I am a fine artist based out of Fairbanks, Alaska. Welcome to CopperWorks!

​

Everything you see here is created using copper and patina. Patinas are various chemical formulas that react and oxidize the copper to produce the coloration on the metal. I find this to be an extremely exciting process with endless creative possibilities. 

​

Nature and natural processes continue to inspire and inform my work, and living in Interior Alaska constantly influences and drives the work that I produce.
