This artist is a must see as you walk through the Festival. The images here do not do justice to the level of skill and workmanship required to produce these pieces. We are proud to showcase the unique artistry of Gene Murray at this year's Festival.

Mixed Media Steel Canvas is an art form that is created by hand cutting forms out of steel,brass,copper,bronze,sterling silver, gold and other materials. These components are hand engraved under a stereo microscope and soldered, hammer riveted or screwed to the steel sheet that is my canvas. The steel canvas is finished off by hand making a pine and plywood frame that is wrapped in leather and copper. The steel canvas is mounted on the face of the leather.
