Amy Wilkinson Sculpture // Muskegon, MI Amy was raised on the rocky shores and blueberry-barrens of New England, and grew up in a comfortably rural setting. Her formal training was in theatrical design and painting, earning a BFA from SUNY at Purchase.She then pursued the city life- working creatively in NYC and DC for many years conjuring scenery for Theater, Opera and Ballet. She was then drawn to Central Florida in 1990 by the movie and television industry, adding many feature length films and TV shows to her credits. In 1997 she founded an artistically driven company with which she performed a wide array of projects including stage design, sculpture and murals both for major themeparks, public spaces and corporations. As Amy’s artistic journey visits new ports, classical and representational sculpture in bronze has given way to an exploration of the fringes of female iconography with a sometimes irreverent nod to antiquity and craft, mixing old and new materials and technologies. She also enjoys painting trips “au plein air” (french for “in the weeds”), capturing flora and fauna with paintbrush or pastels. Amy now resides in Western Michigan along with her cats, dogs, horse and one very understanding Husband. | No pictures to show |

Steve Wright Porcelain Crystalline Pottery // Muskegon, MI Steve Wright, a West Michigan native, had plenty of exposure to painting, drawing, clay and kilns as a son of an artist. He now works in crystalline pottery, a magical process that crosses science and art. small crystals in the glaze expand and explode under the high heat creating a unique and unpredictable pattern. Every glaze color has its favorite temperature and hold times and its particular recipe and number of layers required to create these little gems. This means that every kiln opening is like Christmas and Graduation Day, all in one. The continuous challenge of creating an environment in which Nature performs such beauty drives his desire to continue. |
