They showed him how to identify the age and wear of any given piece. I became enchanted with painted pieces. They pushed what I was doing, which was preserving that old look. Over time, Avery developed an interest in the texture of the finishes he was creating. He looks for the shading of the paint, the aging, where normal wear would come from.
Every detail has to live with the piece.
He has been featured in several Home Decorating and Log home magazines. Besides furniture , he also creates folk art carvings of animals, gives dated kitchens a much needed makeover, designs mantle and architectural mirrors, Shadow box clocks and builds sets for advertising and professional photo shoots. For Avery there is no shortage of ideas. Should you fall in love with one of his pieces, it's wise to remember, that Avery believes in the uniqueness of art, so every creation will intentionally have a distinctiveness all his own. Avery does not reproduce an item once it is done, you own the one and only original.
