About the Artist
In the mid Eighties, Steven Swenor made the decision to move to Fort Myers from Massachusetts. Since his arrival
to Fort Myers, Steven has married and has started a local business. His approach to his artworks and mobiles has
been a hands on approach. He has managed to jump from component manufacturing, to his sculpture winning
acclaim at local art shows. Influence and encouragements range from apprenticeship with an artistic uncle to fabrication
for World-Class Artists. The reality of functionality has made room for the artistic.
The Kinetic Mobile – “Take Flight ”
The mobile is a culmination of eight years of artistic turns,
twists & hovers. It has evolved as a merger of technology, physics
and nature as it mimics the dragonfly's flight path with seemingly
unpredictable yet elegant overall direction. Many can find
a kinship to the dragonfly in their migrating nature, seeking out
a prime climate, serene waters and sense of familial well being.
The dragonfly is a symbol of love, wealth, & happiness in many
historical cultures. Most active on a hot summer's day, the
Anisoptera is at the top of the food chain in the native wetlands.
These individual Dragonfly mobiles are perfect for outside use on patios and poolside in private homes and are an
added feature for décor in restaurants and hospitality entrances. The application for the mobile use is endless.

The ceramic bodies and CAD
generated stainless steel wings
exemplify the freedom of flight.
The individual pieces are coldforged
before and after assembly.
Enlarged, stationary versions of
Steven’s dragonflies with solid
cast bodies are currently on
exhibit and permanently installed
at the new Southwest Florida
International Airport Terminal.
Each dragonfly is approximately
80 square feet. From these
massive dragonflies has evolved
the Take Flight Mobiles.

Steven’s mobiles bear the artist signature on each piece of work.
