MissPinProductions's Profile

Bio

Miss Pin Productions is a husband and wife home based collaborative from Rhode Island.

Wife has a BA in printmaking. She has been selling and making chess sets and comic books for friends as gifts for 18 years and has been sculpting Ramones dolls for over 25 years. She has completed her first children's book. She loves serial progressions and series, which is a result of her compulsion to put like objects into groups and stare at them. She is currently working on a documentary about the late singer/songwriter, Peter Kelley.

Husband has a BFA in ceramics, is a woodworker and an antique furniture restoration master. He has an affinity for birds, fish and other animals, which is evident in his work. He has also begun to explore watercolors. His work is meticulous and free, all at once. Husband makes the storage boxes and display stands for wife's dolls. He doesn't like computers much and is a great cook, specializing in curry dishes and homemade pizza.

While the two artists' works are quite different from one another, their mentality of the final outcome is the same. Both feel like the more they strive for perfection, the less their work looks the way they want it to look. They do not try to create the pristine item, rather, each possesses a work style which creates the perfect expression of how they see the world. They find that the more they stray in the direction of perfection, the less life the work has. Their commitment to craftsmanship and quality combined with this guerrilla mentality of creation produces an unusual kind of beauty.

This husband and wife duo live with their super duper cool three and a half year old daughter who is a wonderful painter, singer, rhymer and drummer.

The folks at MissPinProductions are convo friendly.
