About The Art
Debbie starts with an idea or photo, enlarges the drawing with an overhead projector and then fine tunes the detail to best work with the metal medium. A pattern is cut out with an exacto knife and then transferred onto sheet metal. There, Dolton takes this penciled drawing and cuts it out with a hand held plasma arc, then chips and grinds the artwork smooth. After an acid bath, the artwork is polished and skillfully heated with a torch to bring out the beautiful colors inherent in the metal; like painting with a torch. The artwork is then coated with a polymer that leaves the metal surface waterproof, smooth and shiny. All of our artwork is handmade, one of a kind. Even though we have patterns, every piece we create comes out different than then next one.
