I'd like to also begin sharing my work from my creative studio here. For those who do not know, I have three very distinct shops on Etsy. So, once a week, I will feature one selection from each shop here to give you all a feel for what I do and how all those wonderful childhood creative pursuits have now come back full circle and are allowing me to make a living from my love of making things. :)

| Theory of Flight - Blue Herons Limited Edition Print from My Antarctica |
Visual art has been there within me since I was able to finger paint. lol but in truth I just took up the art of photography about 6 years ago. The digital realm allows for me to create things I only see in my head that would be either impossible or impractical to try and stage as a photograph. In the case of Theories of Flight, the backgrounds are Encaustic swirls of wax and color and the image is a photo etching over top.

| Sekhmet and Bast from my new Mini Copper Patina Votive Statues from Shadow of the Sphinx |
From the time I first saw images of the tomb of Tutankhamen I was hooked on ancient Egyptian religion and art. The more I read about it the more I was drawn to the humbler everyday practice of votive worship and the more my own creations reflected that. Simple statues for everyday home altars and offerings.

| My newest Burano Italy HO Scale Houses - SOLD - From Bewilder and Pine |
I am forever under the spell of Venice Italy. Who wouldn't be? The houses of Burano island are just over the top. The colors and the distinctive walkways are so mesmerizing to me. These seem to go out of my shop as fast as I can create them which, I assume, is because so many others are also under the Venetian spell!!
I hope you enjoy my work and I hope you will visit the shops to see more~
Until the next,
nicolas
