Wire Animal Sculpture and Abstract Sculpture
Wire Art Ink was born June 2009, while teaching art full time to adults with disabilities, I needed a way to supplement my income and still have time to make and promote my own art. A friend of mine suggested Etsy as the perfect solution. When the shop first opened, I exhibited my current work, which was abstract wire mixed media sculpture that took hundreds of hours of work per piece. It was beautiful work but at the time people just weren’t spending much money for expensive art. With some research I found that people where drawn to unique or custom made animals. I changed the focus of my shop to animal sculpture. Being a huge animal lover it was an easy transition. The first piece I made was modeled after my beloved black cat, Lu. He sold quickly and I began to receive more and more requests for different animals. I have since extended my shop to holiday items, and functional household decorative pieces. Most of them are animal focused. In the future I want to open another shop featuring my abstract sculpture, work my both shops full time and travel teaching art and craft workshops.
