ur web site is a mean of introducing the extensive and multifaceted work we create at our studio. It is presented to you with photographs throughout the web site.

Giovanni who is formerly from Pavia, Italy, has been an award winning artist and craftsman since 1960. He has worked with private individuals and firms throughout his long career. Some of these include hotel chains, the U.S. Government, architects and designers.

In this age of mass production and inferior workmanship, he has found that there are still those who appreciate quality and enjoy expressing their own good taste through the custom work in the manner of the Old World Craftsman. Whether it be the restoration of your favorite heirloom or designing personalized hand painted tiles for the swimming pool, at his studio you will always receive the personal attention to the satisfaction of both the client and the artist.

In this recently revised web site we have also added more features for you to explore. Beginning with the pages in "The Beachcomber Emporium" you will always find unique items for sale and often updated sections.

If you are fond of poetry, the arts, humor or a good yarn with a logical view of current events, then give the "Embroiled News" a try. In this section is also where you may contribute your own original work. We accept photographs, photographs of your original art work, poetry or short stories.

By opening the "Profile" section, you will learn more than you would want to know about Giovanni and the Studio. ...Enough said!

A visual treat will be yours when you enter the world of "Emily’s Art." Emily is an artist and sculptress who has expressed herself artistically in different mediums while keeping faithful to her Inupiat cultural traditions. She has exhibited her work extensively on both coasts of the United States and had a successful one woman art show in Oregon. She is currently writing and illustrating her latest non-fiction book.

The "Digital Art" section is at the moment in its infancy. We have presently entered a number of works, many more will be added as we progress in this newest of art form.
