| Shoji-Style glass art panels; seen in the Dallas Modern Luxury Magazine; September 2006 issue. I was commissioned and created this piece for a local designer, Alicia Connelly, for one of her clients who did not want clutter on his shelves. The solution? 16 pieces of heavy glass by a process of engraving and painting. |

| Custom 36" door pulls sculpted for a local designer. These door pulls are in Oklahoma. They are from the painting "The Birth of Venus" by Botticelli. These ladies were quite a challenge since there are two of them looking towards each other; everything had to be mirrored. You can see the bronze version to your right-> | Paintings: Japanese calligraphy on two canvas panels. Contemporary sliding door panels; on the left side. | |

| Custom solid bronze gargoyle floor tiles. These floor tiles are sculpted to be almost flat, so that no one trips on the relief as they walk around the room; the applied patina makes them look very 3D. I sculpted them for a local designer. | Why is it that a camera is not able to capture what a human eye sees when looking at a painting? Drives me crazy. This painting hangs in a contemporary kitchen, over a dining room table. | Acrylic painting on board; it's not Marilyn Monroe but everyone seems to think so. The painting simply has that "Marilyn vibe." |

| Design for a custom gargoyle decorative corbel for a wine room bar. This one will probably be cast in bronze or resin and faux finished bronze... or I could also cast him in plaster. | This is Henry. He's a bronze tortoise. Some say a bronze turtle, but actually a tortoise. That's me, in the top picture, sitting next to Henry... as you can see, he's quite large. You can see a picture diary of Henry HERE. | Antique Woman: Oil on wood. This is a painting I did a few years ago... I love her stare. |

| Fat Woman; bronze sculpture with a green patina. This is what I would love my back yard to look like... maybe someday. | This is a custom bronze decorative drapery ring I have sculpted for a local designer. It's actually quite large; as I recall, the ring itself is probably 3" in diameter.. | This was fun; I went to Las Vegas to faux finish these decorative panels I sculpted for a local designer so that they'd look chocolate/bronze. If you ever go to Vegas and feel like seeing them live, make sure to stop at Olives, a restaurant designed by Jeffrey Beers International inside the Bellagio. |

| Another one of my glass creations; again, cleaning up the clutter that used to be shelves. | This was one of the first paintings I have done for Terence Newman, who by the way is one of the coolest, most polite, down to earth guys out there. It was a pleasure working on the artwork for his house. | These acrylic paintings create a splash of color above the clean lines of this contemporary, Japanese style, platform bed. |

| This is a very frustrating piece of artwork. It's a 1/2" thick resin piece inside a stainless steel frame which spins 360 degrees; it hangs underneath the large staircase of this contemporary house. This is one of my favorite pieces, but as many pictures as I have taken, I can not take it in just the right way to show the deep blue colors and the depth of what is going on inside the resin. The little white specs you see here are dust flying around; just can't seem to get rid of it; it lights up when the camera takes the picture. The sphere shapes on the bottom right are actually light fixture pieces which are behind the resin panel; the entire panel is translucent. |
Here is the
same resin painting from further away; you can see the sphere
lighting in the back by the red couch.
Izabela Wojcik, a Polish-American artist, is one of the latest of her breed; a renaissance woman of both formal and self-taught artwork. Izabela specializes and is accomplished in various mediums including bronze, oils, clay, resin, acrylics and wood. Izabela was born in Stargard, Poland and lived in Greece for two years, savoring the art and culture, before moving to the United States, where she now resides. Izabela’s father, among other things, was a fantastic photo-realism artist and a musician. She was raised to be a strong and independent woman and to appreciate creativity over compliance. Some people become artists, Izabela was born an artist. “I clearly remember my mother explaining how to create the illusion of a foot inside a shoe rather then just an “L” connected to the rest of the body. I was four and managed to produce a spectacular copy of my mother’s simple little drawing of a girl holding a kite.” In 2001 Izabela received a Degree in Liberal Arts, with emphasis on Visual Arts, and shortly after began an exciting journey working for Brad Oldham, a local designer in Dallas. There, she was retained to sculpt unique works of art, architectural accessories, and undertake historical restoration projects for high-end residences and commercial buildings. Izabela’s drawings and paintings are published in schoolbooks for both teachers and students; her artwork also has been displayed in the Dallas Museum of Art and she has won numerous awards for her work at various Art Shows. Through the knowledge she gained from experience and learning, Izabela has found that each new medium enlightens all which have come before. In July 2005, she met with Joe Contreras, a wonderful artist and a good friend, about showing her works of art at the Debris. Izabela had visited Debris on several occasions and fell in love with the eclectic, diverse, and rich displays of artworks and was very excited about the concept. Her artwork is currently displayed under the watchful eye of the lovely Rhea Ann Chamness. Izabela Wojcik now designs for Potter Art Metal Studios in Dallas, TX; a family owned high-end metal fabrication studio producing custom designs for over 85 years. “Every true artist dips their brush deeply into their own soul, and I am no exception.” art, commercial art, one of a kind work or art, Terence Newman, channel 8, Dale Hansen, Bela, Isabela, Isabella, Lake Highlands High School, HS, Richland College, designed the Trammell Crow fireplace mantle and tools, architectural design, mural, mold making, patina, realism, surrealism, abstract expressionism, faux finishes, design guide, home decor, architectural element, commissioned by Alicia Connolly, a local designer, commissioned to do artwork for, distinctive, dramatic, detail, custom, antique, contemporary, chandeliers, fountains, rails, hand rails, sconces, gates, doors, beds, fans, french, spanish, Mediterranean, english, tutor, tudor, contemporary, modern, chandelier fan enclosures, furniture, beds, tables, coffee tables, end tables, dining room tables, gas lantern, electric lantern, wall mount lantern, post mount lantern, gas lights, pendant, sink stand base, copper countertops, pewter countertops, copper vent a hood, pewter vent-a-hood, U.

A friend of mine started these eagles and I got to finish them. Also worked on restoring the lady of justice on top of the Old Harrison County Courthouse in Marshall, Tx. for Phoenix 1 Restoration and Construction. A cool piece of trivia: she has my hands... or rather a casting of them; mine are still here. Everything was totally destroyed and had to get re-sculpted. Another thing I worked on for the courthouse were the fireplace hearths; there were quite a few of them and they were missing up to 90% of tile. It took a few months of work; I had to match the colors of the tile and also make them look like they're a 100+ years old. Mixing ceramic colors is not easy because they look one way when they're mixed, another way when they are dry, and totally different when they are fired. On top of all that, depending on the weather and so on, the look of color may change also. Try that for fun. |
