Fine Briar Smoking Pipes and Fine Craft in wood

 
About me

 
Lake Geneva, WI 2007
 
I have born on January 1962 in Republic of Latvia.
My childhood dreams were drawing, sculpting, fishing, chasing frogs and running...
I spent all my youth in Track and Field running middle distances.
I received my art education from Art College of Applied Decorative Arts in Latvia from 1985 to 1989.
In 1990 I immigrated to US where I live permanently ever since.
I spent 20 years in American work force as model maker for Hobby, Toy and Industrial Design industries.
In 2010 I retired from work force and became self-employed by making smoking pipes and fine craft art full time.
I can't explain visible world around me without a Creator - it is too precise too beautiful and too elegant. My faith in Creator Jesus Christ can't be separated from me thus anymore - it is what directly defines me - who I am, what I do, how I make things and how I work.
I love to study basics of quantum mechanics, physics of immortality and financial markets as my main hobby.
I draw my main inspirations in my art, pipes and craft from nature thru observations of forms, shapes, proportions and rhythm. I'm also inspired by style of Art Nouveau where these natural elements are also abound in there as well so much.
Generally I love to work in quiet but modern neo-classical piano music without lyrics also inspires me quit well.

With all the best,
Maigurs Knets.
