Mark Boskovich
Wood Vases, Tables, Clocks, Sculptures & Crosses Most of the art pieces you will see are from old-growth wood, ranging from 800 years to over 1,000 years old. My art comes mostly from trees that have fallen by storm or after a fire. Never do I know what the pieces will represent until they talk to me. Mostly in a free-form piece of art. Over the last 50 years, I have pieces that have sold worldwide. The pattern in the wood grain mesmerizes me. |

Geri Bringman
Geri Bringman Fine Art www.flickr.com/photos/geribringman Painting Acrylic fine art paintings of the desert southwest, with its strange and spectacular landscape, provides an endless source of inspiration for me in my painting. My most significant influence has been the Mexican and Native American art and culture that is a part of the Old Pueblo. I love their traditional designs and vivid colors, and most of all, their broad, beautiful faces. |

The process consists of layering and scraping over and over. It is a technique I developed while building furniture for 25 years. I finish the original paintings with 3-dimensional frames that become part of the final image. I also sell giclée prints on canvas that I hand frame and finish with alder wood. |
