Mike Mathieu – Woodworking Plus

“Mike Mathieu, owner and artist of Woodworking Plus, Midlothian, VA begins by envisioning an object or a moment in time. Then he transfers this image to paper, creates a detailed pattern, and goes to work making your custom project come to life. Instead of using dictionary definitions of Intarsia, we would like to create our own.  Intarsia – the experience of merging Nature’s beauty with human ingenuity; finding the perfect combination of woods to express an object or a moment in time; a three- dimensional perspective of the world using natural colored and varied woods; painting with wood.

M. Sooriyakumar – Copper Art by Sooriya

“I was born in a small village in Sri Lanka, and grew up with a great love for all kinds of art. For 35 years I have worked in the mediums of copper, iron, stone, wood, and other materials to create artworks that are as functional as they are beautiful. My artistic gift is one that comes from a long lineage of traditional techniques as well as from spiritual discipline.

Lord Buddha Meditating by Copper Art by Sooriya at CustomMade.com

“When I create my custom artworks, I mediate and chant while I am working, and this practice helps me to bring out a kind of sacredness in my art. All my tools I make myself by hand, and with these instruments I create all my artwork by pounding, tapping, and shaping 3-dimensional forms into copper panels. With great dedication, patience, and love, the feeling of the art comes first through my heart then flows into my hands and finally out into the piece of art. My art is always a reflection of my inner journey and an expression of great joy to share with others. I came to Hawaii 27 years ago to continue my quest to produce this kind of art, and it is here that I have developed my own unique path toward spiritual fulfillment.”
