Highly Unique Purchase Opportunity

In December we moved our studio and while the new space is beautifully conductive to a creative flow, it is smaller. In an effort to conserve space, we have decided to offer the very limited number of Artist Proof pieces we hold on editions sold out years ago. We will continue to hold any Foundry Proofs we have in inventory to accommodate any future retrospective exhibits – such as the Tempe Center for the Arts exhibition we participated in last year. Artist Proofs appear identical in appearance for each of these pieces. Molds are broken when an edition sells out, insuring no additional future casting. This is the final opportunity to purchase one of these valued pieces (unless in years ahead we decide to offer any Foundry Proofs where available). Follow the links to read more about each piece including companion writing.  Call early for best opportunity to procure the piece of your choice or for additional information at 520.622.6377. These pieces will only be offered until sold and then no longer available – in some cases there are more than one available and other cases only one final piece available.

We are offering the following Artist Proofs for purchase at this time:
