Artist: Coco Marie Brown

Craft Medium:  Metal Artist's Statement: Making art is about connecting with the viewer and is as important to me as working alone in my studio. I believe in the power of universal imagery. Commom forms such as the Heart in my work the “Vitals Series” are used to form this immediate connection. I consider this to be an essential aspect of my work. My primary medium is salvaged steel. I use techniques found in Blacksmithing such as hand forging as well as electric welding, plasma cutting and other aspects of Metalsmithing to create one of a kind artworks. “Charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit”- Kahlil Gibran
