About:
George F. Welch 1926-2003
Welch said he became interested in enameling after taking a jewelry-making course at University College in the 1950s. He stated: Enamel is often used to enhance jewelry pieces by adding color, so I decided to try it with bigger metal pieces.
A native of New Briton, Connecticut, Welch came to Syracuse after graduating from the School of the Worcester (Mass.) Art Museum, the Hartford Art School, and four years as a Marine Corps artist.
As an artist, he finds his work rewarding. 
Creating enamel is my greatest pleasure, he says. And he goes on to explain: the uniqueness of the process is exciting, and it just cannot be found in painting.
He specifies that the process consists of using enamels colored by oxides applied to a metal surface. Usually, I use copper, but silver, aluminum, gold, or stainless steel can also be used.
The enamels, done by George F. Welch, are abstract works on copper, framed for hanging.
Welch was a full-time artist who also painted and sculpted, considering his enamels a Fine Arts medium. He worked on flat copper, firing it repeatedly for desired effects, and experimenting with oxides and tones.
He said his vision is partial at first, but adding colors and textures as the work progresses, builds the design.
 When finished, he gives it a title, usually on a nature theme, which allows people to relate to it. His enamel works are striking. The textures, colors, and design almost jump from the wall. Welch has a bold, direct style of handling the medium, using color with three-dimensional effects. 
The designs are impressive, sometimes accentuated by bending the flat copper or hammering three circular bumps into it. In addition, some exterior materials are added, such as thumbtacks, that create a beautiful spatial form.
The textures and colors have an emotional substance: they reach out to the viewer. Welch used the enameling media with impressive results.
