More on Anne Shutan

 

Anne Shutan creates one-of-a-kind pieces of sculpture and furniture, affirming the sensuous nature of wood. Shutan's work is sought by collectors around the country who know they are buying treasures that will be around for generations.

Anne enlivens each piece with her extraordinary wit and craftsmanship. After studying the fundamentals of her craft for several years, Shutan opened her own studio in Colorado. In 1985, an interior designer was so taken with her work she introduced Shutan to the master woodworker and sculptor, Jan DeSwart. There was an instant rapport. At the end of their first meeting he said, "Finally, you are the person that i will share my secrets with." Shutan moved to Los Angeles and was DeSwart's protege until his death in 1987.

Shutan continues to expand her skills un creating unique works of art in wood.
