He then paints them in exquistitely bright colors. Virtually all of the materials are recycled/salvaged. His work is shown in galleries throughout Texas. Prices range from $100 to $5,000. He will work with his customers to custom design works of art. You can contact him by e-mail: saintmaker@hotmail.com. Will create art to match customer's imagination and dreams.
