The Coffee Artists

Angel
Sarkela and Andrew Saur were sitting in Beaner's (a coffee shop in Duluth,
MN) one day last summer (2001), sipping on their coffee. Then an idea came to
them. "Wouldn't it be fun to make some art out of coffee?" So their
work began and they had their first art exhibit at Beaner's Central in the
spring of 2002. It was a unique show, with only one medium used: coffee.
"Since our show was going to take place at a coffee house, we thought it
would be a perfect setting for our medium."
Since
then, Angel and Andrew have had another with rave reviews,
especially from the buyers. Angel and Andrew make "affordable" art.
Each piece costs the same, $40.00. Their subjects range from nature and birds to
rock artists to Star Trek characters.

out of Lego's, and be with friends.
Both artists tell me they want to continue on in this medium and see where their careers go. If you'd like to purchase their art, or have them custom paint you something, just contact them.
