he technique used to create Mark Oberkirsh's art is a form of copper repousee. Self taught, his designs are drawn by hand on copper sheets with a pointed stylus. No molds or stamps are used. The metal is turned over and paint is laid within the resulting raised lines. The remaining copper surface is oxidized and then lacquered. The finished art is mounted on a sand colored board, matted and framed under glass. An accomplished woodworker, he also makes his own frames. He takes great pride in the fact that his art is true to the Arts and Crafts ideal, being totally handcrafted by the artist.
