Art in the Park Vendors
 

Iron Mountain Images - Using carved wood, photographic paper and coloured glass, we capture many rarely seen images from monasteries, convents and cemeteries which attempt to "enlighten" the spirit of the viewer.  The majority of our work is created on a smaller scale to keep the images affordable.  We also do custom stained glass work from time to time.  Last year we attended 35 shows and also had a month long exhibit of our photographic images at the Stirling library.  All of our work is handmade, other than the photograph frames which we purchase.  Our images have now found homes in England, Australia, California, Alaska and many places in Canada.
