Featured Artist for 2013Featured Artist for 2013Featured Artist for 2013 Carl & Susan Valenti of Terramore’

See them at The Villager 429 E. Grand Ave.

Terramore’ began about nine years ago when Carl & Susan Valenti decided to do what they really loved. Both cancer survivors (Carl with leukemia, Susan with breast cancer), they began creating wearable art from recycled metals, electronic components & natural earth stones, as Susan was a master beader with a talent for assembling unique & aesthetic works. Aside from the metal work & patinas, Carl collects discarded wood from downed trees & scrap piles & creates otherworldly critters & avian abodes.

Examples can be seen at The Villager Gallery & The Longbranch Gallery in Mineral Point.

Part of the proceeds are donated to The Komen Society for breast cancer research, & The Lymphoma & Leukemia Society.
