Gareth David Eckley, Gemstone Portrait Artist @ Portrait Cameos
Nickname: cameocarver, Country: United States of America, Language: English
I offer: Regarded as the best portrait cameo artist in North America. Gareth is one of a very select group of gemstone carvers. Born in Wales in the United Kingdom, Gareth has benefited from rigorous training with the best in his field. European craftsmen have a deserved reputation for the finest skills and training. Great skill, artistry and experience are needed to be able to create accurate ‘life-like’ portraits. Very few people have this combination of art and craft. Gareth feels strongly that for a cameo portrait to work he must feel that he “knows” the subject. It is very important to know the persons name and their nature so that he can enthuse the portrait carving with their spirit. He is very passionate about his art and loves to travel to meet his clients whenever possible.
