Jeremy Maronpot

Jeremy has been designing and building original metal artwork since the late 1990s. His work draws on a range of techniques including forming, forging, embossing, repousse, welding, patination and fabrication using sheet metal and solid stock. Projects range from jewelry to decorative artwork, sculpture and custom commissions.

He works primarily with copper and other malleable metals, chosen for their natural beauty and ability to be stretched, shaped and formed. The resulting work is often biomorphic and tactile. Built by forging and welding, but shaped in a way that feels grown rather than constructed.

Jeremy's studio, Element 29 Metalcraft, is located in Raleigh, NC.

Jeremy earned a BFA in Art with a concentration in Metal Design from East Carolina University, a program accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). He continued training through studio-based workshops, and by working under artists Andrew Preiss and Alvin Frega.

Jeremy's work has been shown in group exhibitions at institutions including the North Carolina Museum of Art, the Contemporary Art Museum in Raleigh and the Green Hill Center for North Carolina Art.
