Our friend Shank is one of the most talented people I know creatively. Over the years, whenever one of our group of friends would get married, one of the most highly anticipated gifts any of us would receive was the one from Shank. He would give the couple a piece of artwork that he made. Each one of them is so completely different ... and perfect for people receiving the gift! Our friends Andrew and Shelly were the first ones that I remember to receive something from Shank. They got a beautiful graphic textile piece. Leif & Melissa have a color painting hanging in their house, thanks to Shank. And we have an etching he made. Last year when we were visiting his house for his wedding, he showed us his studio and what he was currently working on. Amazing birdhouses! In fact, they were the centerpieces at his wedding. They are absolutely beautiful. Recently, he opened an Etsy shop called Saizzi River Studios. Check it out! The birdhouses are fully functional. Although, I'd be thrilled just to have one sitting in my house. They are amazing.
