Sylvie Harwin is a California artist who works in anodized aluminum-
a colorization process converting silver aluminum into multiple colors
through electrolysis. Sylvie makes a widely distributed line of “high tech”
jewelry that has been seen in many films such as Star Trek. Her work is in
private collections throughout the United States.
Jim and Tori Mullan of Mullanium work using recycled metal parts
to create jewelry with organic plant and animal themes. The couple
combined their individual talents and formed a partnership in work and
life. Their fascination with birds, nature, and antiques is still present
today and their vast collection of vintage hardware, bird carvings, and
watches fill up a 3300 square foot studio in Pompano Beach, Florida.
Jim and Tori’s collections can be found in over 1,000 galleries, museum
stores and specialty stores worldwide.
John Teal Crutchfield of Metallic Art Graphics works using a unique
graphics art technique which he applies to a high quality brass base
and casts in a durable clear fiberglass encasement. The purpose of his
designs is to evoke the inner desires of one wishing to escape from the
present to explore the past civilizations of ancient Egypt, Greece, and
Persia. To achieve these results, John draws on his influences from his
studies in Europe. His work has been photographed, written about, and
showcased in several galleries including the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery
in New York and the Artemis Gallery in Richmond, VA.

 

The show will take place at

John T. Crutchfield listed as a Top Artist in Richmond Times Dispatch, Sunday July 29th 2012

RICHMOND, Va. –A band played outside Artemis Gallery as dusk set on Richmond’s Main Street.

People were standing outside the art opening, but there was one character you

couldn’t miss. John T. Crutchfield was wearing large sunglasses with metallic

stripes across the lenses (he made them himself), a straw hat and a scarf.

Crutchfield, the owner of Artemis Gallery, specializes in metallic art graphics. The lights

in the gallery sparkle on his customized musical instruments with metallic features and

nostalgic images. His work has been featured on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and in Vogue.

He participates in art and music festivals and has applied his art to a $10,000 guitar for musician

Robert Francis, who toured with singer Jason Mraz. Crutchfield’s art also has appeared at

the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery in New York.

Crutchfield started putting customized designs on instruments after a musician gave him a broken guitar.

But his style extends beyond instruments and includes jewelry, clocks, sculptures and more.

Ever since he was 5, art has been a part of his life. His parents wanted him to be a scientist.

“I pretended to be a scientist,” Crutchfield said. “I got out of school and did artwork. Follow your heart.”
