Open Parentheses

One of my dimensional wall sculptures will be in this show at the Rumriver art center in Anoka.
It’s my first time being in a show there, come on by and take a look!
I’m always hoping to get feedback from people that have the chance to see the work in person.

11-3pm 10/16
6666 East River Road,
Fridley, MN

Having been delayed considerably due to the pandemic I’m very happy to finally have an opportunity to share my sculpture with the public- you can find event details on the instagram link below, or at freshwater.org/confluence. Hope to see you there, or, if you are finding this site having visited me at the event, happy to make your acquaintance, and thank you for taking an interest in my work!

A special thank you to everyone that stopped by to purchase or simply appreciate the artwork at the Clear Lake Art fair. Me and my lovely partner Elisabeth had a wonderful time meeting all of you!

If you weren’t able to buy anything in person don’t forget just about everything posted here in my online gallery is available for purchase- contact me directly at iannystrom@gmail.com for more information or requests.

I’ve just completed a new set of spookily seasonal Halloween magnet designs inspired by classic movie monsters, all of which are available for purchase from my etsy page

You can see these and the rest of my ornaments and magnets on the page here

Coming soon (uh, hopefully)- listings for ornament and keychain versions of these designs.

Thanks for stopping by the page and take care all until next time

Just writing a little something to let anyone stopping by the site know I’m still alive and still making stuff, even if it isn’t evident from my web presence.
2020 has been some year, right?

I haven’t posted many new things largely because I have been working on a single large sculptural project that will hopefully be ready to unveil this fall, and I will post more details when they become available.

In the meantime I once again have work in the annual members show at the lovely Banfill-Locke art center in Fridley, info about which you can find here

Hope you all are staying safe and healthy, thanks for stopping by the site and I hope to inform you all of positive developments soon!

Oct.4 – 19 I’ll have some new pieces of dimensional wall art on view at the Banfill-locke center for the arts as part of their annual member show. I hope you’ll come on down and see my, as well as many other talented peoples work during that time!
There is an audience award as well as a jury prize so you can even vote for your favorite pieces!

*update 10/13
There actually isn’t an audience vote this year, I was mistaken about that, but I encourage everyone to go visit and see all the lovely work irregardless

Visitors to the site take notice there is a new page featuring all of the ornaments I’ve recently made with designs by my good friend and colleague Michael Perez (and a couple of my own).
These designs will be available on Etsy to purchase soon!

Selling work today at the Andover Craft and Gift show, including ALL NEW NEVER BEFORE SEEN ornament and keychain designs by my good friend Michael Perez!
if you’ve come to the site after seeing my card at the booth thank you very much for taking interest in the work. The website here is an ongoing work in progress but I’ll hopefully get some updated pictures of new work soon.
As always i’m available to contact through my email at iannystrom@gmail.com if you have any questions, comments, or requests!
