The Buffalo Nickel project is about combining our love of the printmaking process and passion for coins.

We are visual artists who have been working together on a variety of artistic projects over the past few years. Our latest success was an exhibit of our combined images in a dynamic exhibit "Layers" in April 2012.

The Buffalo Nickel project is about combining our love of the printmaking process and passion for coins.  We chose the iconic buffalo nickel because of its large appeal and historic significance.  This buffalo nickel coin design, created by James Earle Fraser, was developed using three different indians as models and the 'Black Diamond' bison from the New York City Park Zoo.  With the combination of these two prominent images, the historic buffalo nickel was put into circulation.

Our goal, as collaborative artists, is to create a full set of historic coin prints, with the culmination of the project being a catalogue of all our prints, including the buffalo nickel, indian head penny, twenty dollar gold St. Gaudens coin and many more famous U.S. coins.

We would like you to own one of our original prints and a piece of American History by helping to support our project.
