Welcome to Don Murphy Weathervanes and Cupolas website.  Don is an internationally recognized artisan working in copper to create weathervanes that are truly exceptional. His weathervanes have been used as architectural details at numerous commercial building developments across the country. They have also been exhibited in the Chicago State of Illinois Building, the Illinois State Fair and the World Trade Center in Tokyo as examples of American folk art.

He begins the process of creating a weathervane by carving a design he envisions for the weathervane.  After the carving is finished, he creates his own forms used for hammering the copper into the desired shape.  Even the cardinals are Murphy-created designs exclusive to his weathervanes.  All weathervanes are signed by the artist, numbered and dated.  When a pre-determined number of each vane has been sold, the design is retired.
