SKUTZ \ skootz \ n 1: an Artist / Silversmith working in Costa Mesa, CA. His art is his vice and playing with fire is his life.
SKUTZ' work reflects the belief that a complete artist should explore as many styles and media as he or she is inspired by, or has the courage to attempt. And hopefully still eat... Favorite artists and influences are many, but Da Vinci, Monet, Van Gogh, Bierstadt, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Dali, Parrish, Elvgren, Vargas and Von Dutch/Ed Roth/ Robert Williams cover the short list.
Trained as a silversmith with the 200 year-old Porter Blanchard Company of Calabasas, CA., under such Masters as Louis Wise, Randy Stromsoe, and his father Lee Kutz since the age of 15, SKUTZ has had his own business starting in 1995 "Restoring America, One Teapot at a Time". From Tiffany baby spoons to the large brass and copper sculptures of Sergio Bustamante, he is a full service silversmith specializing in repair and restoration. That business has since evolved to incorporate diverse talents, from creating jewelry, building both classic and custom bicycles, restoring vintage items to his true passion, painting. He has been featured numerous times in the OC Register, Daily Pilot, and Coast Magazine.
