Fredrick Prescott’s childhood experiences invariably influenced the kinetic animals and landscapes that have become his artistic trademark. Born in Palo Alto in 1949, the oldest son of the chief inventor and owner of the Universal Coin Meter Company, Prescott began working with metal at the age of six. In the playground of band saws, punch presses and metal grinders, he spent countless hours honing the skills he uses to transform metal into art by cutting, bending, and welding. By age twelve, Prescott was enrolled in a watercolor painting class where he immediately developed a passion for color. Both sculpting and painting his artwork, he began his career fascination for bold and colorful steel sculpture.

Since 1974, Prescott has exhibited his work all over the world and created special pieces on commission for both private and corporate collectors, including Walt Disney Co., Porsche, the Chicago Bulls, Sylvester Stallone, and former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’connor. His sculpture is in the permanent collections of museums across the country as well as internationally, and range in size from tabletop kinetic sculpture to monumental pieces that fill public parks and the atriums of children’s hospitals.
