Biography
Carmie Born 1958
Wood Turner Carmie K. Acosta was born and raised in San Antonio. By day he works as a synthetic organic chemist specializing in steroid synthesis. His foray into wood turning began in the year 2000 when his father passed away. Growing up, he was surrounded by woodworking and the associated woodworking tools. In his retirement years, his father became a prolific wood turner. While he never actually taught Carmie to turn, he got a feel for it by observing. Upon his death in 2000, his father had a mostly completed piece on the lathe which Carmie parted off and finished the bottom. Prior to that, the last time Carmie had turned wood was 8th grade shop class. Shortly thereafter, he began to turn his own pieces and in no time, became addicted. He works mainly with native Texas woods; mesquite being his favorite, in addition to mesquite, he's worked with pecan, mountain laurel, plum, honey locust, cedar elm, hackberry, Arizona ash, bois d'arc, peach and an occasional piece of FOG (Found on Ground) wood. Most of the wood he turns is salvaged from wood piles or from tree trimmings. The various forms that Carmie turns are dictated by the size of the wood, grain structure and the presence of defects (i.e., cracks, knots, bark inclusions, etc.). These can provide for some very dramatic effects in the finished piece, either alone or through augmentation with a variety of fillers. Carmie finds it particularly challenging to turn pieces of wood that most turners throw in the burn pile. None of Carmie's turned pieces are identical, as no two pieces of wood are the same. "The art of turning is being able to see the bowl or vessel that lies in that spinning chunk of wood."

This is being sold as a piece of (functional?) decorator table sculpture for a kitchen or restaurant. I do not know if or how it works. the wheel and gears turn. It might be missing a cover on the handle. It is a lovely antique piece. Made in France.
A halfcentury before they produced their first car, the Peugeot brothers were making coffee grinders, continuing to do so for over 100years. In 1840 the Peugeots produced their first moulin a

Louise Marler’s photo-based Mixed Media art, is iconic visual vocabulary. Au-thentic style has led to exhibits, art collections and events which integrate his-tory, education, and entertainment. Raised in a family that collected, sold and repaired typewriters. These and other analog, vintage machines are part of her personal history and led naturally to becoming part of the subject matter of her visual expression. Louise Marleris inspired by Americana and also influenced by pop art and technology.
“I developed my unique art style in a Santa Monica Airport (former mechanic) hanger turned art studio. I currently live and work in St. Louis where antique row meets the most progressive art culture, as well as Joshua Tree, California, where I created the first Type Inn.”
Louise Marler’s work is featured in the documentary film, “The Typewriter in the 21st Century,” and TV shows including “Two and a Half Men,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “The Mentalist,” “Criminal Minds,” “Jane the Virgin,” “Dear White People,” “Lucifer,” “Arrested Development,” “Love Victor, and “A Black Lady Sketch.”
