I am a sculptor/painter/inventor/teacher making artwork in Santa Monica, California. I have taught Art and Tinkering to kids from preschool adults. Additionally I teach teachers how to use powertools, safely passing on that knowledge to children. I have been professionally selling my sculptural work on a commission basis directly to Designers, Architects, restaurants, hotels and individual collectors for almost 30 years. During this time I have expanded my teaching from individual workshops with kids and adults to full blown Tinkering Summer camps for kids ages 6 through 15. Along the way I have shared my creative vision with an emphasis on working with reclaimed materials, because it is my core belief that “trash is the failure of imagination.” It is with children that there is hope for our future. Stay tuned for the next chapter as my children move through high school and beyond.

Whether skinning an object or melding together disparate materials into surprising new ways, Kramershares his unique vision through his process of reinvention. At the core of his sensibility is the belief that “trash is the failure of imagination”. Mundane objects are elevated to a higher status in his world. Kramer exhibits his work in galleries, fine art and contemporary craft shows throughout the country, as well as through commissions, corporate and private.Specialties: I use recycled and reclaimed material to create my work.
