"Love the work from this artisan!"





We have purchased many pieces from Armando Ramirez and they are all exceptional. The smaller pieces make for thoughtful, deliberate gifts for just about everyone on a holiday list. From a teacher to a x ray tech, the options are phenomenal. The larger pieces are truly amazing and will be collected as art work that will be passed down. They are really amazing,affordable handmade works of art.( I have a few earmarked for special occasions hint,hint hubby. ) I have found that the key holder ones work really well as a perfect place for our keys as well as our masks! Now it is impossible to leave without a mask as they are hanging together on a beautiful piece of practical artwork! Highly recommend!
Best Uses
- Everyday gifts and key holders are great for hanging clean masks

"Connected old and young in delight!"





Opened at a socially distanced outdoor birthday party for a teenager, the young biker it was given to and all the other generations passed it and the information about the artist around to smiles, laughter, oohs and aahs, bringing people from different generations and different countries together for a moment amidst the isolation everyone is feeling right now.
Best Uses
- Decorating a teenagers room!
