More than an art form
Lonnetrix is
a system.
Studio practice, teaching, charitable access, mobile programming, commissions, partnerships, and cultural enterprise work together rather than as separate projects.
Artist-led learning
Demonstration and hands-on instruction translate the practice into spatial reasoning, patience, geometry, design, storytelling, and creative agency.
Nonprofit access
Lonnetrix Inc., established in 2018 as a 501(c)(3), brings free and low-cost art experiences to communities that face barriers of cost, transportation, or institutional access.
Mobile community delivery
On the Move carries the artist, materials, instruction, and encouragement into schools, festivals, libraries, homes, youth programs, and neighborhood spaces.
Cultural enterprise
Sales, commissions, workshops, sponsorships, partnerships, and donations reinforce one another so original creation and public access can grow together.
Handcrafted
Every piece is shaped and woven by hand.
Original
A signature technique developed over a lifetime.
Purposeful
Art that teaches, uplifts, and gives back.
Baltimore made
Created with precision, patience, and soul.

The art of Lonnetrix
Drawing in mid-air.
Lonnetrix transforms fine coated wire into movement, architecture, character, and story.
Each sculpture is built line by line through an original geometric weaving technique developed by artist and educator Lonnie Q. Ingram.
