Jeff Owen describes his art as the past combined into the present, mingling of age, time, and space into congruent single form, the many into one. His technique is brute force, decide-at-the-moment. His creative process emerges with patterns that he incorporates into all of his sculptures. He creates art that is completely unique, something no one has done before. He resists conformity and mass production and that his art is as individual as he is.

Jeff Owen has recently collaborated with glass artist Marc Demian to create metal-glass sculptures. Marc Demian’s intimate knowledge of ceramics as a son of a respected potter, allows him to create unique molds to achieve unusual shapes in glass. Growing up with an artist has given him an adventurous curiosity, mixing glass with clay, metal and wood. Currently, he is exploring textured and patterned glass in high relief. Marc Demian intends his work to be joyful in spirit and sophisticated in rendition. His work can be seen in fine galleries around the country and in private collections around the world. www.demianglass.com
