About Us
Finding Inspiration Around the World
Wherever our adventures have taken us, we saw beauty in the natural world and the artifacts that people who came before us left behind. Whether that was rock climbing in Yosemite Valley, J-Tree National Park or Devil's Tower in Wyoming, or hiking the Machu Pichu trail through the Andes or touring the Pyramids of Giza or the Ancient temples in Europe, the world has shared the beauty of creation. This is what inspires us to create works of art and function.
Our Story
We relocated to the American southwest from New England 30 years ago. Throughout our lives we have both been artists in many mediums. Liz has pursued textiles in quilting and Navajo style loom weaving, stone sculpture, basketry, and now focuses on mixed media with forged iron, steel and copper with sculpted stone and glass components. Josh is a carpenter by trade who studied music and theatre in college before becoming a homebuilder. His works in wood and leather predate his steel work and he now focuses on merging his skills in creative cutlery.
