ABOUT THE ARTISTS:  USING AGE-OLD LEATHER TECHNIQUES, A NEW DIMENSION WAS CREATED IN THE ART FIELD. THE FEEL AND LOOK OF LEATHER LENDS A SPECIAL TOUCH TO DESIGNS THAT ARE TIMELESS YET BECOMING UNIQUE IN A NEW SENSE AND STYLE. A TEAM EFFORT COMBINING TALENTS OF MARIE AND ROGER HAS CREATED AN UNUSUAL APPROACH TO LEATHER, A CONTEMPORARY STYLE THAT HAS BECOME DISTINCTIVE AND BEAUTIFUL.  ORIGINAL DRAWINGS ARE THE FIRST STEP. THE LEATHER IS CARVED AND TOOLED BY ROGER, COLORWORK IS APPLIED BY MARIE AND THE FINISHES COMPLETE AND SEAL THE LEATHER.  ROGER AND MARIE ARE CREATING WORKS OF ART THAT ARE SHARED BY A GROWING NUMBER OF COLLECTORS WHO APPRECIATE THIS NEW AND ORIGINAL CONCEPT OF LEATHER.
