Grace Zabriskie and Marion Lane
Hand Crafting Fine Art Boxes


Marion and Grace working on the initial phase of box making.  The patterns for legs, sides, and lids must be carefully aligned so edges  and joints appear seamless.  This candid photo shows Marion's original painting of Helen of Troy in the background. Circa 1995


Grace (in the foreground) uses a magnifying glass to accurately guide a precision woodworking jigsaw, creating exquisitely carved patterns.


Marion and Grace working in close proximity, sharing not only tools and raw materials, but ideas and inspiration which creates an inevitable influence on each other's artistic vision.
