Picture
KAREL HURT,  turns so many items that only a few can be pictured. She turns, necklaces, earrings, spinning tops, mini rolling pins, mini ball bats, ring holders, eggs with stands, vases, boxes of all styles and sizes, Christmas tree ornaments, snowmen, bowls, so what is seen here is just a small sample.

KAREL HURT, was born at Cahone, CO. She grew up in the Dolores, Montezuma Counties, graduating from MCHS. She worked for the telephone company as an operator and later as a service representative. Was introduced to BILL HURT, by a mutual friend and schoolmate.They have 2 sons, one lives in Parker, CO , the other lives in Maryville, TN. Her last 9 years before retirement were spent working for the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe at Towaoc. When Bill built his turning lathe she became interested in turning also. Her sister gave her some tree ornaments and she wanted to learn how to turn some like them to use for gifts. She has been turning wood since that time. When money was available a Grizzley lathe was purchased for her use. She uses the big lathe for all of her turned projects.

JOHN REIMERS -  PICTURES IN WOOD

John Reimers
 
 
John Reimers grew up in Los Angeles and graduated from U.C. Berkeley. He moved to Cortez in 2007, following a long career as a general contractor and site supervisor in the San Francisco Bay Area. He retired from the construction industry in 2019. 
 
While living in the Bay Area, John developed an interest in hard-edge painting and geometric abstraction. He began to explore these styles in wood, beginning with scrap pieces from the jobsite. His current compositions are assembled from individual pieces of MDF that are cut to size, textured with a router, and then painted with acrylic. Each finished composition is clear coated with polyurethane. Most works are approximately 2 feet square. 
 
 John accepts commissions and can make larger works, but buyers should understand that these may be very heavy.  Commissions can be executed as complementary pairs, triptychs, or other groupings. Compositions can also be made long and narrow—for example, to be used as a door panel or valance.
