Artwork Description

Gary Genetti originally designed work for a local gift market, but his vessels now sell all over the world as fine art. His work reflects many decorative arts traditions and is inspired by sources as diverse as Persian tiles, Oriental carpets, classical mythology, and American folk art. The highly detailed designs highlight the meticulous process by which his work is crafted.
