June 25, 1980 Hungarian and Spanish Decent Born and Raised in Las Vegas, NV Resides in New Mexico **(Pulse is a local weekly paper, featured for 2005 Art Hop) With a driving vision to expand wire wrapping techniques, style and flow Anton Bodor has been harvesting his ideas since the new millennium. A self taught wire artist who has pushed the complexity and detail of wire work jewelry into a new era. Using .999 fine Silver, and only wire cutters and pliers Anton transforms 20 feet of 30 gauge wire and various sized base wires into fine handcrafted jewelry. After spending much time working with fine gems and minerals Anton wanted to expand his art form and combine glass with his wire work. The search began for finding a glass blower in which shared similar creative energy and inspiration and with the willingness to take on an apprentice. After several years of disappointment in finding his ideal apprentice, Anton decided that a move out of his native Las Vegas (NV) was necessary. After consideration Anton felt that the Land of Enchantment was going to provide his artistic inspiration and future. Within the first week of arriving in Southwest New Mexico his vision proved to be correct. Attending a local Arts and Craft show he became acquainted with Daniel Trilli, a local glassblower. Their creative similarities and goals were apparent from the get-go. Today Anton and Daniel have become apprentices of each others art form, constantly pushing each other to new levels of creativity and design.
