Gabriel and Jennifer Ayala are full time artists, and for them nature plays an inspiring role. The two of them spent 20 years living on their secluded mountain, property in New Mexico just north of the Gila National Forest. Here they shared the land with their two dogs, horses, and, several chickens. Today they run their business from their valley home in a quiet part of northeast Mesa.
Their work consists of trees, vines and branches hand tooled and fabricated from sheet copper, all without the use of any machinery.
Jennifer, of Alaskan Native heritage is currently creating beautiful weaving's in stunning colors, from hand hammered copper. Other native influences have inspired Gabriel’s much sought after hand hammered and tooled Sun Shields.
