"Artist of the Month" for June

The Gift Shop "Artist of the Month" for June is Onorio Catenacci. Onorio is another one of our multi-talented artists. He is a sculptor, a mixed media artist, and a photographer. His works are imaginative, thought provoking, and they also display his sense of humor.

"I was born in Detroit, Michigan to Italian parents and educated at the Center for Creative Arts, Detroit, MI and Oakland University (BS, MA) in Rochester Hills, MI.

Having lived in six states and three countries, served in the US Army abroad and worked in the USA, Canada, Mexico, the UK and Malta, I have had the privilege of experiencing a wide variety of cultures, art and most important ... People, from all walks of life.

I chose the phrase: 'Ora Vediamo' (Italian for: "now you see") to represent my work; which hopefully allows you to see what I see .... to communicate with each other, to exchange, to learn and grow. A collaboration which will enrich both artist and viewer."

Pictured are three of Onorio's "Ball Bearings" sculptures.

I mentioned that Onorio is also a photographer. Here are some of the greeting cards he has created from his photographs

"We don't have to be the same to fly together"

"Want to hang out?"

"You are the color in my world"

I hope you will agree that Onorio Catenacci has some very interesting work here in The Gift Shop. Come in and see them!
