We are NatureMaker®

A NatureMaker tree is a bold synthesis of masterful engineering and one-of-a-kind nature sculpture. Life-size and true to the minutest detail of branch and bark, NatureMaker’s hand sculpted replica trees are the original and only “Steel Art Trees.” Whether a monumental banyan whose arching branches and spreading roots offer a nesting place for children’s imaginations in a library, or a six-story oak stimulating awe in a hotel lobby, or a preserved or artificial palm tree in a large tropical atrium, NatureMaker trees have engendered an entirely new “experience” of Nature in exhibit design and themed environments.

Artisans and Engineers

One of a kind sculputure

NatureMaker co-founders, the late Bennett Abrams, an ecological artist and sculptor, and Gary Hanick developed and perfected the techniques used to build what they have dubbed their “Steel Art Trees”. These arboreal creations have become a unique art form, and the company’s designers, artisans and engineers assist with every aspect of interior landscaping with NatureMaker Steel Art Trees.


Handcrafted to architectural specifications, NatureMaker trees have emerged as major design elements at prestigious resorts, casinos, retailers, museums, libraries, zoos, nature centers, commercial buildings, hotels and residences. Each tree, perfectly balanced and magnificently detailed, stands as a one-of-a-kind ode to nature.

These guys were great to work with. We wish they could come back to visit it. We love the tree!!
