Artists at Work

                             Artists at Work

This blog is in celebration of two artists I have the pleasure of working with at the jewelry manufacturing facility here in our fair city, Richmond Virginia.

   The first artist is the first person I met when I came to work at the precious metals company. He is extremely talented and has since gone out on his own to make his way in this life using his hands. Greg has sold his work to The Mariners Museum Gift Shop and The Virginia Aquarium Gift Shop in the Tidewater Virginia area this year. Pieces can be purchased at the gift shops. Greg`s next show is  at The 10th Annual Ginter Park Arts & Crafts Show. Greg is waiting to hear from the Natural Bridge about another contract for work for their gift shop. Greg`s most recent work can be seen on his website at GregMontgomeryDesigns.com

Born in Radford, Virginia, 1955, I began drawing at a very early age; as I began to grow the drawings became collages; as I matured the collages became objects. For the past 30 years, these objects have become my voice.

   The next featured artist is Daniel Dicaprio. I am very fortunate to work with Daniel and see some his personal projects being cast in our facility while he is managing production in the Bench Jewelers/Solitaires/Earrings assembly department. Daniel was featured in the October/November issue of American Craft Magazine. He produces work for a gallery in New York. You can learn more about Daniel and his work on his website DanielDicaprio.com

            The pieces I make in wood and precious metals, explore my interest in adaptation. The forms I work with stem from plant and animal anatomy often combining different aspects from each. During my process of making, I am often reflecting on people’s roles in the living world. I think about how we evolved to the place we are currently, and what other possible changes could happen in the future. I consider my sculpture to be organisms on the beginning of their evolutionary path. Referencing what we are and where we came from, the pieces are created in recognition of the past, while alluding to the future. The process of making this work is as seductive to me as an artist, as I hope the work is for the viewer or wearer.
