Refine Design 3D was founded by Derek Uhlman who has been a sculptor for over 50 years. Derek apprenticed under the American master sculptor Reuben Nakian. He received his first major commission in 1982 from the General Food Corporation and created Stone Flowers, a 37,000-pound marble sculpture. His sculptures have been acquired by private collectors worldwide, and have been purchased by the Rockefeller Center, New York; General Electric Corporation Headquarters, CT; Kraft General Foods Headquarters, NY; and Daiwa Corporation Headquarters, Tokyo. Throughout his career, Uhlman has exhibited at institutions including the National Academy of Design, New York; the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; and the Kouros Sculpture Center, New York.
