Welcome to my World of Wire Portraiture

I, Noah James Saunders, have been bending wire for the past thirty-five years and my art has evolved quite a bit over that time. My most recent solo show at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art represents the fullest presentation of my creative practice to date. The show features my steel wire portraits ‘Join Me - A Prelude’, Sheltering In: En Vie, and my series Wire and Shadow - Portraits of Poems.

Just prior to the Cobb exhibition, in a show called 'Ode To A Watering Hole,’ the tiny ATH Gallery premiered a new series of small, thematically connected, small portraits innovatively rendered in copper wire infused between sheets of fused glass.

Now that you have some context for my work, I’d like you to get to know me and what inspires my work a little bit better. So please take a moment to have a look at my Artist’s Statement co-written by Joshua Ramirez formerly of the Getty Museum now at USC, listen to my interview on NPR’s City Lights, take a peek at this extensive feature article about my work , that was recently published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

You’ll find more good things, including my CV, on my website.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have and  for inquiries about showing or purchasing the work, or how you can get involved in my future creative adventures..Thank you so much for taking the time to visit. I’m happy that you have become a part of  my creative universe!

NOAH
