Born and raised on Kodiak Island, Alaska, Gunter Reimnitz, fine metalsmith, spent his childhood fishing for salmon on a 42’ fishing boat with his family. Not surprisingly marine life often shows up in his work along with his signature Abraham’s Crow clutching a red berry in its beak.
John McCormack often brings his sense of humor and whimsy into his work. His serious sense of functional high design shines throughout his body of work.
“The artisans of this show bring fine craft to its highest level to create art that we live with, that enhances our living spaces and our lives,” said client Janine Boire.
