Ford/Forlano

Steve grew up in the Midwest, and studied art in St. Louis, Rome and Philadelphia. He has been a full time studio artist for the past twenty years. He lives in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, with his partner of fifteen years. In his career, he partners with David Forlano in Ford/Forlano. Together, the duo merges nature, pattern, and structure to portray fragments of life. However, they often let purpose subside and let the piece take over.

Marjorie Simon

I was trained as a sociologist but I've been an artist all my life. I've made jewelry since I was a child in summer camp, but detoured into academia, earning a BA and MA in sociology and teaching it at the college level for several years before returning to my true love as a maker.

I have been making jewelry and metalwork for over 40 years, studying with the excellent faculty at community based institutions and crafts communities that exist in the United States. For several decades I sold my work at craft shows and produced edition work as well as one-of-a-kind pieces.

Although I no longer travel around doing shows, I continue to sell my work in select galleries. In 1995 I began to use vitreous enamel on copper and this has become a large part of my studio practice.
