Jan & John design & create functional art pieces for the home & garden. Each piece is created from new & recycled steel--which is cut, ground & formed into components that are welded. Although steel is the primary medium, works also include aluminum, copper, stainless, brass, fused glass & cast cement components of their own design.
The couple participate in about 25 art festivals annually and both feel right at home on the art 'circuit'. John "grew up in a family of artists" & accompanied his dad to festivals when he sold wooden toys.
Jan also went to art festivals with her mom until she graduated from high school. "I grew up with a family of seamstresses. My mother taught me a lot about designing & building works of art from fabrics." It would seem art has become a family tradition, as Jan & John's two young children now accompany them throughout the Pacific Northwest.
