While flying around the US for art projects. I collected a full series of sketches in my art journal. Inside here, you will find them explained. A source of inspiration for artists and like minded creatives.
Fantasy carved Smoky Quartz
Reverse intaglio/ Fantasy Cut made right here in the studio.
Las Vegas has built its economy on importing tourists when we should be exporting our minerals.
Our home has an abundance of claims surrounding the city with mineral deposits galore.
Only right i set this smoky quartz in a 950 fine silver setting being from the Silver State!!
Client wanted a large pendant, only had enough gold for Text and a bale. I think I made it work though!
Sand casted here in the studio and the porosity is fine because he leads people on river/ lake excursions for a living!
Stones were repurposed from his grandmothers heirloom ring. Blue Sapphire.
These and much more were just finished for Verano Holdings. I just finished my tenure with the company after 3.5 years of work/ creating assets.
These really hit like sapphire in the sun. The yellow is deep and golden. Rare citrine is saturated like this.
Let me know what you think!
I just recently tried my hand at painting a few textiles and everyone is telling me this looks Versace. I personally think this pattern is unique because of the asymmetrical design but what do you think? I have a few more garments i mocked up but this one displays it in full. Hope to get some feedback. Thank you for looking!
Had the honor of painting this yesterday! 3ftx4ft. I am an avid rockhound in Vegas hope you enjoy!
This client makes his fortune in the marijuana industry and I was forced to paint this over the trunk!
Let’s redeem this and create something a bit more luxurious in the future. Art makes the world unique!
If you see this pattern around, you can assure that it is actually designer fashion because an actual artist made it.
Taking my inspiration from the elegant feel of high art and making them into wearable patterns world wide.
Share away, as this is one of many ways we can bring income into our city from the rest of the world.
I took my stone carving techniques to high art. This is an old Venetian style of glass. About the same hardness as quartz to carve.
I’ve been making all kinds of sculpts! Hope you guys enjoy!
Recently, I’ve been mining a bunch, afterwards; I had to figure out how to finish the stones!
This lead me down a rabbit hole of fabrication, wax casting and stone setting galore! Hope you guys enjoy!
I love to incorporate the creative art into the jewelry. Any other jewelers paint here?
I’ve had a few paintings in mind i wanted to do this with just to give it a try, I’m no expert. Just an artist. Hope you enjoy!
Had the privilege of slicing this one up yesterday! Headed to a gallery in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Oil on unstretched canvas for shipping purposes!
I have been working hard on branching into new mediums! Figured i share here for inspiration! Anything is possible with art!!
I live in Las Vegas, Nevada and am an avid miner! I love crystal and mineral hunting in the desert, this is a result of what we decided to do with the minerals!
I had to figure out how to complete the stone and showcase it the way i seen it in my mind when we pluck them from the desert pockets! Thanks for looking and if you have any questions or critiques; please feel free to reach out! I’m grateful to be able to share here with you all!
