I met New Mexico-based Pat Pruitt years ago when we had the same affinity for Nissan SR20-powered cars. I only got to see him once, maybe twice a year thanks to some national car events. Both he and his wife Marla are quite simply, exceptional people and talented artists. Pat does his thing with metal- stainless and titanium mostly, and Marla is accomplished in the medium of paint on canvas. I commissioned Pat for my wedding band in 2013 and just before Christmas last year he was able to make me a matching ring for my wife. She initially had something else but was so happy with mine that she wanted one of her own. Needless to say, she was thrilled with it. Here are the final matching rings together:
