New metal wall art and Mom's day gifts

Hanson Galleries Grapevine	Wall art finds Mom's Day gifts Vol 7, Issue 5 Apr 2013

Exciting metal wall art

Several artists contribute to our new selection

Houstonians are always looking for alternative wall art for their big walls. Our selection and special order possibilities are great.

This handsome quilted metal art is the hallmark of Kim Eubank. The wall mirror below comes in two sizes.
The reflection in the mirror shows a display of whimsical wire people with glass kites which can be displayed indoors or out.
The wall piece at right measures 48"x 8" is made of enameled and etched copper on a wood background.

This designer uses flame-treated copper or ground and hand-tinted steel to accomplish his wall designs. They can hang horizontally or vertically. See more in stock here.
