Oregon – Salem Art Fair and Festival

Wayne Harrel

I hand- and power-carve single pieces of reclaimed local wood, then highlight with fire and bleach.

I use salvaged, native Oregon wood and metal to make unique, beautifully crafted furniture and gifts.

We create art by using the natural textures and colors of wood to create visually appealing patterns

Shape the wood with a grinder, burn the wood, brushes bring out the grain, acrylic color wash & seal

I use a laser-cutter to transform my pen and ink illustrations into colorful and textural wood art.

My medium is hardwoods, softwoods and engineered woods using carving and lamination techniques.

I make segmented sculptures and jewelry boxes from wood using hand and power tools.

I make wooden treasures, functional and decorative, using found/salvaged woods whenever possible

My work is fabricated from sheet bronze and copper. It is Plasma cut, hammered and welded.

Machine-routed and hand-carved wood, and hand-painted using high-quality pigments and finishes.

I am an abstract artist, working in-camera, with available light, texture and compositional nuance.

Original photographs, layered into collages in Photoshop and reproduced on metal with dye sublimation.

Digital images dye-sublimated onto metal, special attention to tone and balance to covey real life.

Oil, watercolor and pastel.

My work is created with a pen illustration and watercolor overlay.
