About the artist: Jeffrey and Katrina began creating their collaborative pieces in the late 1980’s in Ojai, CA. In 2011, they moved to the mountains east of Albuquerque in Sandia Park, New Mexico. Together their collaboration of metal and wood create an aesthetically pleasing, and lasting work of art. One of the main benefits of having a husband and wife team work together is in the design aspects. Katrina’s background in stained glass brought her sense of color and design to Jeffrey’s commitment to fine woodworking techniques.
They select only the most unusual hardwoods for their color, figure and enduring beauty. Their exclusive seven step sanding process combined with all natural clear oil and wax finish, creates a satin like finish comparable to polished stone. It is this unique process combined with their devotion to quality and imagination that is reflected in their one of a kind containers. Every wood has a story, a historical progression that it has gone through before it gets to their workshop. Some tell their story visually, others tactility, or aromatically.
People often ask "Where do they get their woods"? ...they obtain their woods from years of wood source networking, which includes a network of wood lovers, importers, other craftsmen, and their local forest (if they are lucky). They are inspired by nature, and are avid hikers and cyclists and appreciate all nature has to offer.
Jeffrey Seaton's work is currently a part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. (Seatonwooddesign)
Provenance: N. California estate.
