“My belief is that goodhearted artistic endeavors are a valid attempt to express the higher dimensions of emotion and reality. Through passion, one can accomplish inner peace and glass is an avenue to this destination of  metaphysical understanding. It sounds unrealistically deep, but emphasize having fun and enriching people’s lives. It’s a profound contagious joy to teach and make people smile.”

Jon Ahrens

Jon studied welding and metal fabrication at Moraine Park Technical College and has enjoyed blacksmithing and metal crafts for many years. 

Through the art of blacksmithing, Jon finds both opportunity and challenge: opportunity to transform imagination into iron art, and challenge in doing so with fire, hammer, and anvil with thousand-year-old technique. 

"It is very easy to forget that life is simply a series of small moments. When we realize this, we also can choose to interact in these small moments with love in our hearts. Now life becomes full, we now have made space for all the wonderful things we once felt were missing."

Todd Schabel

Todd Schabel is a contemporary realist oil painter who grew up in Central Wisconsin and attended the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Todd's training mainly consisted of the portrait, the figure, and still-lives, but due to his love of the outdoors and interest in travel, it wasn't long before he fell in love with the landscape, particularly plein air painting.

Todd has had the honor of receiving several plein air awards in the Midwest region and has been juried into several National and International exhibitions. His work is featured in our gallery space at Soul Hammer.

"There is joy in more places than we can imagine, and my hope is to encourage others to pause and see more of that beauty around us, but even more importantly, to nurture it."
