Wow! She does it again! I needed a custom address marker that included the house number and our Asian Zodiac signs. The communication was excellent, I was kept in the loop every step of the way. I also really appreciated the green packing material that was easily recycled. I can't wait to come up with another project for GeminiDragonfly!

About
Always Changing and Never Ending!
We have been working together to create Recycled Art for many years. It all started when Tamara drug a car hood in from the scrap pile years ago. Her late husband did hobby restoration of classic cars, so she was used to being around a plasma cutter, welder and auto body tools. She knew what she had to do. Use those tools to make art! Pretty soon the whole family was working together creating what became the family business. Lots of things have grown and changed through the years, but Tamara is still dragging pieces of tired metal in from the scrap yard then molesting and molding it in to Art. The shop is always a mess. Her hands are always scraped and burned and the music is always loud, but she still loves it!
During the quieter moments, Tamara creates jewelry from mostly recycled materials, as well. You'll see many different incarnations of her creative juices at GeminiDragonfly. Luke loves to forge in his spare time. Tamara's daughter, McKenzie, creates some of the jewelry, as well, and offers support in running the Etsy part of the family business. Tamara remarried and her husband, Rick, helps with shipping and art shows.
The inspiration and creative energy is always changing, so check in often. You never know what they'll decide to bring to life next!

Owner, Artist/Designer, Shop Manager
I guess I'm where this all started. I consider being an Artist my vocation which is described in the dictionary as an inclination, as if in response to a summons to undertake a certain kind of work. That's it in a nutshell for me.

Luke
Sculptor, Artist/Designer
I grew up with art in my life every day and had a welder in my hands before I was nine. I don't get to work with mom much nowadays, since I live too far away, but once in a while, I get to help her with a big art installation, just like old times.

McKenzie Paige
Designer
I grew up with soap stone in my hand, drawing my whimsical designs on steel for my mom to cut out (see some of the Fairies.) I'm pursuing my own creative life now, but still work the art shows from time to time and design Jewelry.
