In studios and workspaces tucked throughout town, creativity takes shape in steel, glass, silver and stone. This season, two local couples are bringing that work to a wider audience as participating artists in the 22nd Annual Arizona Fine Art EXPO in north Scottsdale.
For Terry and Marilyn Alexander, art began as a shared exploration after careers in more traditional fields. While experimenting with different mediums, they found themselves drawn to an unexpected pairing: steel and glass.
“With enough heat and cold, hard steel and flat sheet glass can meld together and transform into an organic, one-of-a-kind piece,” Terry Alexander said. “When we start a new piece, we have an idea of what it will be, but after it undergoes over a dozen different processes and techniques, sometimes even we are surprised. It’s like the materials are leading the way.”
