Welcome to Episode 47 of our podcast!, In this one we find ourselves in Austin, Texas, sitting down with the dynamic duo behind Ion Art, Sharon and Greg Keshishian. Prepare to be inspired as we delve into their remarkable journey and the incredible work they have accomplished.

In 1986, Sharon founded Ion Art, Inc. with a simple vision: to create and sell neon art. Little did they know that their venture would blossom into something far beyond their initial expectations. Over the years, Ion Art has evolved into a powerhouse of creativity and craftsmanship. While their scope of work has expanded significantly, their unwavering dedication to creating art remains the core of their business.

At Ion Art, a team of exceptionally talented individuals comes together, each sharing a profound passion for creativity. This is what truly sets them apart from other companies. As a "design-build" shop, Ion Art employs a diverse range of skill sets and personalities, all working towards a common goal. Greg and Sharon, with their expertise in glass and metalwork, lead the way, combining their talents with those of their team. Together, they produce extraordinary neon art, custom signage, architectural lighting, and innovative environmental solutions.

Since its inception, Ion Art has left an indelible mark on Austin, becoming a local landmark in its own right. The company has expanded its horizons, venturing into the realm of sculpture and architectural décor. With over 37 years of experience and an impressive roster of high-profile clients, Ion Art is more than equipped to handle projects of any size and complexity. They thrive on challenges and are always ready to push the boundaries of creativity.
