---New Website Employs Latest Technology to Showcase Unique, Hand-Sculpted, Eco-Friendly Steel Art Tress---

July 12, 2011 CARLSBAD, CA- NatureMaker, a Southern California based company that creates life-like, eco-friendly Steel Art Trees™, announced today the launch of their new website: www.naturemaker.com.

    The impetus behind the improved website is to better serve its clients as they peruse the site to explore the majestic arboreal Steel Art Tree ™ creations showcased around the globe for industries including: retail, healthcare, airports, hotels/resorts, restaurants, casinos, museums, libraries, zoos, theaters and even private residences. NatureMaker also specializes in catering to special events. Earlier this year they were commissioned by Vogue Magazine to create a 30 foot tall Oak, described as the "Giant Tree of Life". This "Tree of Life" served as the centerpiece for the Annual Costume Institute Gala, a coveted red carpet event honoring the life and work of the late designer, Alexander McQueen and attended by numerous A-List celebrities and the world's most preeminent fashion designers. The Gala was held this past May at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. You can check out NatureMaker's arboreal creations at http://www.naturemaker.com.

"We are more aware now than ever before, that the new features of our site will create a vibrant and stimulating experience for our online visitors", stated Gary Hanick, President of NatureMaker. "The newest site features include our Projects World Map, which allows visitors to experience our domestic and international work and all of the business sectors who feature our Steel Art Trees ™. The new site is also easier to navigate, provides insights and feeds to Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and Twitter to keep clients abreast of our latest installations and newest creations".

Another new feature NatureMaker is proud to present is the 'Sustainability' portion of the site. NatureMaker is a proud member of the US Green Building Council. All NatureMaker Steel Art Trees ™ have Low-VOC Emissions, recycled content, are rapidly renewable and use local and regional materials. "We are proud to provide a piece of art that is emotionally enriching for our clients and reinforces the ever-present complement of nature and design while being environmentally friendly", said Nature Maker President and Cofounder, Gary Hanick.
