Steven Goodman - featured on HGTV "Modern Masters"

AS WELL AS THE HGTV FEATURE, STEVEN IS PROUD TO HAVE WON BEST OF SHOW, 3D MIXED MEDIA AT THE STATE STREET AREA ART FAIR, IN ANN ARBOR MICHIGAN. AS MARGE COLBORN, DESIGN EDITOR OF THE HOMESTYLE SECTION OF THE DETROIT NEWS WROTE: "LOCAL TALENT STEVEN GOODMAN CONCENTRATES ON THE DETAILS. THE HARDWARE ON A PIECE OF FURNITURE CAN MAKE AN EMPHATIC DESIGN STATEMENT."
OUR PRODUCT LINE HAS EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS. WHAT BEGAN AS A JEWELRY STUDIO IS NOW AN ARTISTIC VENTURE INTO PRODUCTS FOR THE HOME AND OFFICE. WE DESIGN AND HANDCRAFT THE MOST UNUSUAL SIGNS, MAILBOXES, WALL CABINETS, HARDWARE AND WORKS OF ART THAT YOU HAVE EVER SEEN. - I LOVE THE BEAUTY AND WARMTH THAT HARDWOODS, MINERALS AND METALS BROUGHT TO JEWELRY. AS BEAUTIFUL AS THESE MATERIALS WERE, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO APPRECIATE THEM IN SUCH SMALL PIECES. - I HAVE UTILIZED THESE WONDERFUL MATERIALS IN MY NEW WORK AND AM THRILLED WITH THE RESULTS. THE COLORS AND TEXTURES ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL IN THESE LARGER PIECES. - A "SIGNATURE" MATERIAL THAT I USE IS FOSSILIZED IVORY, WHICH IS THE TUSK OF MASTODON, MAMMOTH AND WALRUS THAT ARE THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD. IT IS EXCAVATED BY ESKIMOS IN ALASKA DURING THE WARM SUMMER MONTHS WHEN THE GROUND HAS THAWED. THIS ANCIENT IVORY IS UNIQUE, VERY BEAUTIFUL AND BECOMING SCARCE AS THE SUPPLY IS NON-RENEWABLE. - I ALSO UTILIZE EXOTIC HARDWOODS, MINERALS LIKE TURQUOISE, PIPESTONE, BLUE AZURITE AND JET, SHELLS LIKE ABALONE AND MOTHER OF PEARL AND METALS - AND CREATE TRULY DISTINCTIVE PIECES OF ART.
