Ric Peterson creates handcrafted wooden bowls, plates and vessels for decorative and functional use

I used reclaimed wood to create know mountain scapes. I use clay to create functional Ceramics.

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.

We use wood’s natural beauty as well as pyrography, dyes, and carving to create functional art.

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

My work is fabricated from sheet bronze, hammered and welded into life like wildlife.

Carved 3-dimensional wooden art panels applied with the highest caliber pigments and finishes.

My minimalist digital photos are presented with matting and custom walnut and maple hardwood frames.

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

I layer original photographs into complex collages in photoshop and print on aluminum.

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

My work features with bold colors and brushwork, with surreal thought-provoking subject matter.

Oil paints, applied with brushes and palette knives.
