About The Artists

J.P. was born into a military family and traveled extensively throughout his lifetime. For him, exploration and discovery is the best education; it exposed him to a rich diversity of culture and art. Formal education is no stranger to him either, he holds two graduate degrees and one doctorate, however he is a self-taught artist.

On the other hand, his wife Christine has been an artist all her life and was formally trained at the Denver Art Institute. Christine distinguished herself as a figurative painter and expert in wood burning arts long before she emerged as an abstract painter. Chris’s first interest in metalwork began when she and J.P. began making jewelry and copper work together in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Their work grew increasingly larger and moved from precious metals to steel. The combining of their skills led them to their newest art form. Now, the couple uses steel to express their creativity.
