About BRIO Artist:  Jim and Tori Mullan

Jim and Tori Mullan 

Jim is a self-taught artist. As a teenager he was intrigued with old watches, vintage toys, and scientific instruments. Tori was inspired by her father, a jeweler and antique watch collector. Jim and Tori met, shared their interests in old watches, jewelry and antiques, and formed a partnership in work and in life. Their collection of vintage hardware, bird carvings and watches fill up a 3300 square foot studio. 

SONG BIRDS: Each bird is hand made in their Florida studio using old carvings as models. Unusual relics such as croquet balls, binoculars and old toys give each unique bird their own personality. These sculptures revive once forgotten bits of the past.
