The Gift Shop "Artist of the Month" for August

The Gift Shop "Artist of the Month" for August is Patrick Dinunzio.

Patrick has fashioned wall art from metal and different woods. His process includes precise laser cutting, detailed hand carving, and creative wood staining.

Below are two examples of Patrick's metal wall pieces.

 Here we have three of Patrick's detailed wood creations in his "Steampunk" series.

Finally, another wooden wall piece with an ancient Egyptian theme.

Patrick is not the only artist in  the family...his wife Ilene Dinunzio makes handmade paper beads that she uses in her lovely necklaces. The necklaces are all 28" to 40" ...long enough to place over the head without the need for clasps. These close-ups of just three of her necklaces show the bead and pendant details.

Aren't they pretty?

Find Patrick's and Ilene's work and much more here at The Gift Shop!
