All artwork is our own originals. We hand draw each design, sketch it on clay then hand carve it. We then combine our artwork with our own poetry. All poetry we individually hand press using old typeset. Pressing each letter in letter by letter, word by word by hand. New this year our full poems on clay. Our goal is to create artwork that is simple and elegant that others can connect to in the different stages of their life. Our artwork has been derived from our own personal life experiences. We're a husband and wife team. The husband is the poet (studying Philosophy, History and Literature). The wife is the illustrator (studying studio arts). Each piece we hand made together from start to finish. Some artwork we finish with found wood and other artwork we finish in solid oak frames. Frames we hand make in a craftsman, mortise & tenon style using no nails or screws to build the frames. Each piece is original, hand made by us. Our artwork is minimalist yet meaningful.
