As proprietor and principal artist of Braaksma Design, Carolyn Braaksma has been creating large-scale public art since 1989. Concourse floors at Denver International Airport, miles of sound walls for the Pima Outer Loop in Scottsdale, Arizona, and components for new campus buildings at the Colorado School of Mines, University of Minnesota, and Iowa State University are among the many commissions and opportunities that demonstrate her creativity and versatility. Before forming Braaksma Design, Ms. Braaksma worked as a studio artist and a welder in construction. Many of Ms. Braaksma’s works have achieved special recognition, including the Crescordia Award for Special Achievement in Environmental Excellence, the American Concrete Institute Special Recognition Award, the National Terrazzo and Mosaic Association Merit Awards, and the American Institute of Architects Merit Award.
