Mixed Media Original Artwork
 |
|
"The Air Never Settles" &
"Held Between Time"
|
Description: Syndy Ziegenfuss' mixed-media artwork combines multiple materials, found objects and a unique layering process, which adds a depth of emotion that evokes both familiarity and mystery. The artist has an intrinsic ability to seamlessly fuse ordinary images and sensibilities into the extraordinary, where the non-essential becomes essential and the abandoned becomes fully embraced. Her work has been shown nationally and upcoming shows include State Street Gallery at Robert Morris College, Chicago and Chicago's Looptopia. The studio is based in Chicago, but we were in LA for three years and have a large client base in the LA and Northern CA. Syndy's artwork is large scale and fits the CA style of homes.

The Climb of My Life

Description: “The Climb of My Life” is a love story with heart. Kelly Perkins is a heart transplant recipient who climbs mountains around the world to inspire others and be a positive example for organ donation. Since her 1995 heart surgery at the age of 34, Kelly has broken world records as she climbed to the peaks of the most famous mountains in the world, including Mount Fuji, Mount Kilimanjaro, the Matterhorn, Mount Whitney, El Capitan, and Mount Aspiring in New Zealand – all on a borrowed heart. “The Climb of My Life” is also a love story between Kelly and her husband Craig, who never left her side. Craig didn’t accept a death sentence for Kelly, and not only said the words, “this did not happen to you, it happened to us”, but also lived them. He stuck with Kelly every step of the way, from hospital rooms to each mountaintop.
