Keepsakes, Relics and Collectibles puzzle artwork description:
This brightly colored modern work of art was originally an acrylic painting on canvas. The artist, Marc Dominus, used warm oranges and ochre yellows as the background colors. Brushstrokes and layers of paint create depth like a sunrise. The painting is filled with amorphous shapes like a purple rock-like shape in the upper left corner and various window-pane shapes in blues, yellows, greens. The artist uses his pallet knife to scratch in layers of paint creating whimsical lines and super highways of thicker multicolored paint. Get lost in the artist's brushstrokes and feel the texture of the painted canvas in each puzzle piece.

OUR STORY
We are a family business established in 1977, and revived again in 2020. The Puzzled Co. was started by Philip Einsohn, a former early-childhood educator turned Waterjet design expert. In his first year of teaching, Philip struggled to find educational puzzles especially for low-sighted and blind students and parents alike. He began crafting wood puzzles for his classroom and was one of the first to create Braille puzzles for children. Today, using innovative technologies like Waterjet cutting and textured printing, Philip has realized his vision of inventing Puzzles for EveryBody™ as a unique, patent-pending, sensory art puzzling experience and classroom resource. All products are cut and printed in-house by Waterjet Works, our Dallas-based parent company.
