Mike Brown is a contemporary artist who creates exquisite bone carvings for people seeking something different. You certainly won’t see anything else quite like these. For Mike, bone carving is a language, a really important form of communication. “It’s a way for me to convey my values, my insights, my understanding of life,” Mike says. “I am inspired by community, relationships, connections and spiritual values.” Mike says that one of his greatest joys comes from matching a carving to the right person. That moment of transfer represents the completion of a circle which begins with inspiration and ends with connection. Wearers express feelings of emotional strength and spiritual confidence. Mike’s workmanship and finish are second to none. Most of his carving is done using hand tools. He prefers this quiet, meditative, slower approach, working with his hands and putting his own life force into his art.
