Antonia "Ans" Zoutenbier

For 12 years The Tin Moon was a well-known studio / gallery in Abiquiu, New Mexico. Antonia "Ans" Zoutenbier presented her own work and also represented twenty local and national artists - painters, sculptors, book designers, potters, jewelry designers.

Antonia was taught the traditional tin-smithing technique in El Rito, NM, by J.D. Martinez. She stepped away from the historic Hispanic style of design and created mirrors large and small, cabinet inserts, boxes, and smaller pieces such as night lights and ornaments in her own clear style, influenced especially by Dutch Design. She came from- Holland originally.

Thousands of her one-of-a-kind, handcrafted tin design products, often with painted elements added, are adorning the walls of homes in America and abroad. Antonia also creates custom designs.

Antonia now runs The Gallery at Pioneer Bluffs in Matfield Green, Kansas, on the tallgrass prairie in the splendid Flint Hills. The Tin Moon lives on, on the Web. Tanglewood West is pleased to welcome Ans.
