Each Saturday at Noon in August we will be announcing HOT ARTISTS, with ONE piece of artwork available for purchase in The Art Studio Inc FIRE SALE! The excitement is uncontainable and these pieces of artwork will disappear quickly in this blazing sale!
Jane and David Silvernail at 2019’s Shop-O-Rama at TASI.
David Silvernail on his process:
“I’ve been woodcarving for 22 years. In the 1970’s I put ship models together as a relaxation technique. I moved on to clay sculpting which led to woodcarving. I carve different kinds of wood, cypress knees, books, whatever appeals to me. Ideas, too, come from various sources. While I don’t carve only to sell and I don’t do commissions, it pleases me when someone purchases a piece of my art. My association with The Art Studio has greatly inspired me to continue carving.”
“Snapping Turtle”
$150.00
“One of my favorite carving methods is realizing forms in found wood. This turtle just begged to be formed in the found wood.”
Jane Silvernail on her process:
“Assemblage allows me to use time-worm, broken, discarded pieces to make new statements. Wabi-Sabi, the Japanese aesthetic of acceptance of imperfection while appreciating its beauty, is my work ethic. Using mainly cast off wood, metal and glass, I create a second chance for items to be celebrated in art. I’m also very adamant that we must be ecologically sensible for our survival on the planet.”
“Cigar Anyone?”
$100.00 SOLD
“This assemblage using an old metal form for chocolate cigars, is built with wood, glass, metal, and a painted canvas. I have used some of my favorite items to intrigue viewers. “
