Working out of his home in Amherst Junction, WI, Klein believes that natures' treasures or "local exotics", as he calls them, can be found everywhere. He enjoys combining many elements such as stone, copper, and his own handmade papers with wood to create his works of art. His art focuses on sculptural table and floor lamps. The spontaneity of finding objects in nature and incorporating them into
an intricate piece is a freedom that Klein enjoys and portrays in each of his pieces of art.
