Museum Shop: August's Featured Artist


John and Nicole Wheeler

No need to worry about blood diamonds from these two – they're all local. Sharing a mutual love of metal, the Wheelers create stunning handmade pieces from silver or copper. John's work highlights an interest in mechanical design, often using moving parts and complex shapes, while Nicole relies on simple shapes to create intricate designs with clean lines. Enamel, found objects, and semi-precious stones highlight their metal craftsmanship. The pieces are contemporary and unique – just like you. Arriving at the 21c Museum Shop on August 1st for a limited time.
