“Beautifying our city with Functional art” - David York
“Several years ago, A friend put me in touch with Katie Wakeman. I had an idea and I wanted to have my gate replaced as the old gate reminded me of a prison or a grill as it had all vertical bars. When I discussed my project idea with Katie her eyes lit up and you could see the gears turning in her head figuring out how she could make my dream a reality… Within a few months the project details were worked out and in hardly any time at all our beautiful gate was installed.
I wanted to have a safe and secure entryway that was beautiful also and Katie did that in spades!
It’s not just a gate, it’s art. I love the fact that I could improve my house and the neighborhood at the same time. So many people smile when they see the gate.
Katie’s attention to detail and skill can be seen in her work. She rightfully takes pride in her craft, and is in my opinion a genius with metal. We have since commissioned her to build a matching planter box next to our steps, and a railing for the backyard.
The Peacock gate has been added to local walking tours. Nearly every day I see people photographing it.”
“Katie is genius! The design and workmanship that Katie puts into her art are magic.
I have hired her for two projects. and she put her skills to work quickly.
Both projects were very unique and challenging, she made it look easy. The front gate she created for Muttville's
entrance was transformational, from an ugly cement facade, to a colorful joyous entrance. it’s a showstopper that continues
to get rave reviews.
She not only designed and created the gate, she actually installed it, this lady knows her stuff.
I then had he design my home security gate and I now see people stopping to take photos of it!!
Thank you Katie for making the world a brighter, happier place!”

“We had the pleasure of working with the very talented Katie in the creation and installation of our home’s gates. Katie listened to our thoughts and needs for our front gate and effected a drawing. Katie brought this drawing on paper to life in a beautiful vibrant manner. We loved our front gate so much that we had Katie redo our side gate for our home. Again, Katie took great care in ensuring that our desires for the appearance and utility were addressed with the side gate. While the primary purpose is security, Katie has made the gates’ addition a beautiful work of art to our home. Katie is a wonderful artist and a lovely person to work with. Thank you Katie.”
