My love of nature inspires unique and interesting
works of art made on a scroll saw. My primary canvas is moose antler and
the occasional piece of unique wood. Antler is such a natural
media to work with that one can almost feel its energy. My goal in
my art is to allow one to escape into the piece, if only for a moment,
and take them to a place they may have been or wish to be, as I do while
experiencing the joy of their creation. I feel this type of art
brings a little bit of the outside, inside, and allows ones imagination
to take over. I have done commissioned pieces that have a much
more special meaning to the owner. Commissions allow me the joy of
tapping into someone else's artistic vision and creating a tactile image
of their art. I am the current chairman of the Northeastern
Woodworkers Scroll Saw Guild and give scroll saw presentations and
instruction throughout the Capital Region. |

Wayne Smith makes wheel-thrown functional work with particular care
taken with form and surface. The wheel-thrown forms are often
manipulated and altered after throwing. His interest is in
evolving the form, developing surface treatments, and exploring the
limits of that forms functionality. |

I love nature, animals, the earth, seasons and cycles. I enjoy
mythological themes. The horse is my favorite subject:
graceful, powerful and dynamic. I have created my batik images for
over thirty-five years and still am fascinated by the magical effects of
the batik process. Batik is a very ancient method of painting on
fabric with wax and dyes. My original images are created with
many stages of waxing and dyeing. Some areas have color bleached
out and other colors dyed in. This allows me a larger range of
color options. Larger pieces may take thirty or more hours to
complete.
I also paint and dye silk scarves and other fabric accessories.
Fine art prints and cards of my original batik are available in many
sizes. |
