A native of Traverse City, Michigan, Bob Purvis graduated from Traverse City High School in 1965 and from Northwestern Michigan College in 1968. He worked in his family’s steel fabrication business until 1976 when, after the business was sold, he struck off on his own. After several years of repair work, he was asked to be more creative at the behest of clients interested in more unconventional work. From that experience to present, he has tried to use his creativity to the fullest extend possible.
In 1982, Bob and his wife Suzanne moved to Suttons Bay. In the ensuing years his career has evolved to include architectural ironwork, furniture design, and sculpture. It has also increasingly included interaction with art departments and their students in public and private schools throughout the Grand Traverse Region. Current sculptural work can be seen at the entrance to Center Point and the wall sconces inside the State Theatre in Traverse City.
