Specialties
My goal is to create the best art imaginable and to make your project ideas a reality. I enjoy what I like to call the "WOW" factor. To be able to take an artist concept, drawing, or photos, and bring it into a 3 dimensional reality, especially on a large scale, were when someone sees it they just think "Wow" I'm always interested in working on new and exciting projects, and if you have a project you think I would be a good fit for, please feel free to contact me at anytime.
Custom Framing, for your paintings, photos, memories, and more. It isn't finished till it's framed.
We also produce props for the movie industry and offer custom sculpture made from a photo/s of loved ones, pets, or artist concept etc. Bas-relief portraits, one of my favorites, and I have been most recently carving in Marble tiles of various types.

History
Established in 1932.
Wow do we have history, same location, for over 80 years! Established by Sam Touchstone, a wildlife artist, when Hwy 80 was a just a 2 lane gravel road. That gravel road is now a 4 lane highway, and Mr. Sam has gone on to be with the Lord, but Touchstone's carries on. Bossier City has changed a lot over the years and so have we. We look forward to sharing in your love of art as we continue to evolve and grow to serve your needs in new and innovative ways.
Touchstone's, still the place

Meet the Business Owner: Wesley T.
As a small boy I grew up watching my dad's excitement as he created new wildlife sculptures. The first thing I recall sculpting was a small cougar in clay. By my mid teens, I was sculpting in foam & clay for the family business, which I continued doing for over 15 years. Reproductions of these are still being sold nationwide.
Looking back, I realize that personal tragedy deeply influenced my art & its development. In 1989, the loss of my son set in motion changes in my art. As self therapy I produced several new pieces including my first portrait bust "Matthew", & soon after, a bust of my dad for Touchstone Wildlife & Art Museum, I've really immersed myself in art since..
In 2008, I began working with the local film industry, creating large statuary props, then 2015 began carving marble, & enjoy bronze work as well.
With confidence gained from my past experience I believe that if you can imagine it, we can create it.
