MetalPrints represent a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, your images will take on an almost magical luminescence. The ultra-hard scratch-resistant surface is waterproof/weatherproof and can be cleaned easily – avoid direct sunlight. “Birds…
The highly decorative dream-like portraits tell an old story in a new way. The “hippie” era was a countercultural movement that rejected the mores of mainstream American life. The Jesus Movement took on the cultural aesthetic in fashion, music, and art. Hippies developed their distinctive lifestyle, favoring long hair and casual, often unconventional, dress, sometimes…
Finding the whole body and wings of a Cicada was a lucky encounter. Lucky for me, it was a gift from a friend. I usually find their brown skeletons on a tree in late summer. Summer days are filled with the sound of Cicadas in the canyon. The sound echoes and bounces off the canyon…
The sensual and undulating shapes of Agave leaves inspire the Agave Series of artworks. Each leaf is individually hand-crafted. Rare-earth minerals are mixed with translucent resin and are cast within the molds. Desert colors: Orange, yellow, blue, violet, and pink are part of this Agave sculpture. Adding a 10″ “Harvest Moon” completes this one-of-a-kind sculpture….
A unique gift for the home. A small sculpture created to emit a palette of bioluminecent like color and light. One of a kind piece from local artist, Larry Ortega.
The sculpture used in this photo is a 30″ x 4″ x 4″ resin-cast model of a desert Agave leaf. The pieces are cast in layers using rare-earth minerals to provide a spectrum of light and color. The bioluminescent-like light emits in the dark and defines darkness with a palette of colors: Violet, Orange-Red, Sun-Gold, Aqua, and Turquoise.
An elegant form possessing the DNA of the desert. Sharp and Spikey. The strength of the Agave tolerates and flourishes in the heat of the day. The form is sensual; the color and light in the dark provide a different story.
You are guided in the wilderness from the Light within and without. A column of fire and a column of clouds.
Available as a 16″x16″ image printed on Aluminum or as a sculpture piece. Some pieces can be hung on walls or as free-standing sculptures.
I am surrounded by natural unspoiled desert. Native plants abound in our area and property. My intrigue with the Agave cactus caused a decision to create a series of sculptures out of the shape and detail of a single leaf. Its sharp point is its defensive mechanism to ward off predators. Its elegant shape captures…
Enroll on our site for notifications of our “art-centric” events. It has become an occasion for professional creatives and their partners to gather for an evening event. Our studio/home sits in the private Cinnabar Canyon. It overlooks the city lights of Phoenix and is surrounded by the natural desert of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. The Soiree begins at the golden hour.
Our next Soiree may be held on a ten-acre parcel adjacent to the Point Tapatio.
But we need a more prominent place, and we found one. Subscribe for updates.
