Our Featured Artist for June is Mary Ellen O’Connor, who works with copper, flame patinas, and 24k gold leaf. “I am passionate about nature, wildlife, metalwork and color. As a fine art metal-smith, my copper and 24k gold wall pieces are allowing me to work larger than ever before. I enjoy applying 24k gold leaf to copper panels to bring a new dimension to the wildlife I use in my designs. The flame patinas add incredible colors in a process that takes me to the knife’s edge of disaster or success. That level of challenge at this point of my career is truly a wonderful place to be as an artist.”
