ABOUT BLUE NOSE TRADING
Tori Solis, Visual Artist
I am a visual artist working out of Texas. I create work across multiple mediums including: ceramic, beadwork, acrylic paint and photography. As a young child in mid-west Missouri, I was highly connected to the outdoors and animals. At the Jacksonville University I studied painting and design under Jack Turnock. I have been honored to receive formal recognition from my work in the Texas State Fair and various art shows.
As and artist, I find inspiration in my own personal connection to and perspective of, the human experience. I find that working across multiple mediums resonates well with my desire for ongoing growth, expansion and change. I create work from an intuitive place, connecting with energy I feel is deep within, or perhaps just outside of myself in making design choices.

Marco Solis
Born and raised in Terrell, Texas I am a self-taught in lutherie, working out of Terrell, Texas. My love of music began as early as I can remember. The Beatles have been a major influence in my life. I taught myself how to play the guitar by ear and in 2018 decided to try to make my own instruments. I use mostly hand tools in shaping the parts of my instruments. My goal is to learn to make the finest quality stringed instruments. I am currently, enjoying my journey. I am also the music producer of Bird Song Productions.
Inspiration for my logo and brand come from both the Aztec dog god Xolotl and my own staffordshire terrier, Azuci. Xolotl is said to help souls undertake their journey to the underworld.
