Local Artists in Beaux Arts Village

“I've worked with Jesse and Crafthammer on a couple different projects including custom deck planters and a custom chess table for our lobby. The collaboration process is the most rewarding part. From initial concept to final delivery, Jesse leaves no stone unturned in his quest for customer satisfaction. Whether you have the vision and simply need him to execute, or you prefer a more collaborative approach, he's ready with sketch pad and ideas to make a very unique addition to your home or office. Already planning two new projects with him this summer.”

“Our copper sink is a beautiful addition to our kitchen and we thank you greatly for your customer service. It was a pleasure to work with your staff. Additionally, our sink arrived in superb condition, despite being shipped all the way to Ontario, Canada. It is truly unique and a work of art.”

“Not only are they outstanding painters, they are truly artists. Their magnificent workmanship is beyond words. Truly for those wanting to turn walls into artistic beauty! Their work quality and commitment to doing a fabulous job is outstanding! The best ever!”

“Theresa's art not only brings beauty into the home, it also brings a rich and rustic warmth that is both unique and undeniable. The layers, the textures and the subtle earthy hues that come together to make up her works resonate on a deep level, and at the same time do the job of contributing to both the aesthetics and overall layering in the home. If your vision is to create spaces that are not only pleasing to the modern eye, but ones that wrap you in a feeling of comfort and well-being, you've found a true soul mate in Theresa. Lovely person who has the talent, depth and vision to create artwork that can truly transform spaces and the people who inhabit them.”

“My husband and I met Vince at VC Studio Inc. on Houzz after we could not find a particular sink vessel that we loved. Vince offered us information on how to find or recreate the look. Since this sink vessel was no where to be found, we commissioned Vince to mold the sink for us. I dare say he made the vessel even more beautiful than the picture that initially stole our hearts! His work ethic, professionalism and easy going demeanor made the process of hand making our sink easy and a pleasure. He was very open to our suggestions and wanted us to be completely happy with the outcome. We will not hesitate to work with him again!”

“I have worked with Steve and Tish at Glassworks for many years. Their professionalism and attention to detail is outstanding. They also make some incredibly beautiful glass! I recommend them highly.”

“I have commissioned Melissa on behalf of several clients as well as my own home to paint murals. Her work has always been brilliant, sophisticated and expertly painted. Some of the murals have been quite large sometimes spanning several stories up staircases. Nothing has been too big nor too small for Melissa. The reasons we continue to involve Melissa in our design work are many. She is comfortable to work in a variety of styles, is a terrific collaborator, is excited about input and takes the clients through a comprehensive proccess of developement. She starts with sketches, moves on to painted samples and finally implements the work onto the wall. My clients (and I) have been thrilled with the finished product, most of which have been published. She even took on an idea to develope a mobile sculpture that incorporated elements from a mural in a clients home and brought them in to a three dimensional, animated form that is delightful. By involving a talent like hers one can truly bring a soul to an interior while fully enjoying the process.”

“I worked with George to obtain a glass sculpture of his design, called the China Crescent. The stand had to be custom-made for the art work to be positioned where I wanted it to go, and George was very helpful and obliging in having that taken care of. Moreover, even though a departure from the original set-up, the overall appearance of the crescent on the custom stand is very proportionally pleasing. In truth, the China Crescent is more imposing a piece than I had imagined. It truly compels you to look at it when you walk in the room. Sadly, I could not put it where I thought it would go because of the weight (which I never even considered) but there is a place just slightly above there that will take it and allow everyone downstairs, and now upstairs, to see it so almost better than I planned! Interestingly, both my husband and I prefer the dull side although the pattern is perhaps more discernible from the shiny side. All in all, it is a dramatic statement in our living room area, and we both love it. The pattern inside the glass is unexpected in some ways, and makes one's viewing require more time and depth. I enjoyed seeing the final product on opening the box but the acid test was my husband's response. He was stunned by the overall sense of denseness (which is not a bad thing) and then the intriguing lightness that comes from the bubbling effect within. The juxtaposition of mass and air is most excellent. I suspect that we will sit and admire this piece forever, and we send George our heartfelt thanks for all his kind patience and for providing us with an awesome piece of sculpture. We both appreciate his talent and skill, and are honored to have such a piece of art in our home.”

“My spouse and I wanted to surprise our daughter with a gift for her house from one of her favourite artists. We ordered a piece on line, and it was delivered across a border (US to Canada) rapidly and in perfect shape. The art work was wonderful and fit her needs perfectly.”

“I found Doug through Google as my wife and I planned special accents for our new home. Everything was totally out of the box and Doug was great to work with - understanding, patient and extremely creative. His first task was to create zinc caps for half walls around our Great Room. The work was flawless with invisible seams and smooth corners. Hi talents were really put to the test when we called on him to design a cover for our fireplace chimney that our builder had totally screwed up. With his input and great work with metals, what was an eyesore was transformed into the design focal point of the house, as it was intended. Great work Doug!”
