Wayne specializes in a variety of uniquely regional - Mountain, Native American, Cowboy, and Coastal - home & garden furnishings. Whether seeking a single item for an individual, such as yourself, or numerous gifts for your corporate office, Wayne can customize orders to meet specific needs, including the reproduction of company logos. Whatever your artistic needs may be, Wayne is ready to meet the challenge. Your inquires are always welcome.

Wayne's own desire to create with his hands along with his interest in artistic sculpture come together through cold steel and the heat of a cutting torch. Each art piece is hand-cut with great care and attention to detail using an oxygen and acetylene cutting torch.

Wayne comes from a lineage of artists which includes his paternal grandfather, an Italian immigrant in 1906, whose accurate ability to mix inks and dyes essential to printmaking and painting was highly prized on the East Coast. Wayne's mother was an aspiring oil painter who studied with other artists and was known as a self-taught motivator in her field.

A sign of a true artisan is manifested in the numerous hand-cuts Wayne makes into the thick steel, as he paints with the torch - his paintbrush to the canvas of metal.

Wayne grew up in El Paso, Texas and now resides with his family on the working ranch PondeRossi, in Dripping Springs, Texas, 15 miles west of Austin.
