'Expressions in Tin'
'Artwork with a past' created by artist, Lori Daniels.

'Expressions in Tin' refers to one-of-a-kind original pieces of art made from American antique tin, circa 1860-1900. Artist Lori Daniels selects a piece, or assembles many pieces together. She hand mixes paints, resins, and glazes and creatively applies each final work of art.

Organic
This line takes elements from nature and combines them with the blank canvas of the tin pieces. Creating a modern botanical series. The perfect accent in either a traditional or modern home.

Historic
This line honors the craftsmen of the past letting th original tin designs continue to be the main focus. The pieces are enhanced with color and innovative glazing techniques to give each piece a unique, spectacular look.

Mosaic
These intricate pieces take designs from many different tin styles and eras and through design, composition and vision are transformed into magnificent assemblages.

Most art tin is rescued from Midwestern, commercial buildings that are deteriorating or scheduled to be demolished. Stephen White, Lori's partner and folk art dealer races to buildings across the Midwest to save these striking pieces from our past. Tin may display botanical, or classical designs in the Arts and Crafts, Victorian or Art Nouveau styles. Even simple tin patterns are saved and transformed into modern masterpieces.
