Reflections Exhibit + Sale

Front view of the Snowflake Coral Polyp Travels brooch - pendant

The exhibit + sale ended Oct 3, 2021 at the Pajaro Valley Arts gallery in Watsonville, CA

“Snowflake Coral Travels” was a new piece created for the Reflections exhibit + sale

As land traffic quieted down, ocean shipping traffic increased. Snowflake coral, an opportunistic hitchhiking animal, travels from port to port in the bilge water of ships. Bilge water released at a ship’s destination spreads the polyps who quietly invade and colonize new ports and defenseless reefs.

Argentium sterling silver, repurposed leather offcuts, stainless steel

1 x 7 x 6.4 cm

In the Mix in the Oakland Magazine

The layout where Souls Medal of Honor is published
The “In the Mix” section. Love the bottom half of the right hand page 🙂

Yesterday I half-heartedly leafed through the Sept/Oct edition of  Oakland Magazine for an article on Lireille Gallery; we’d expected to see the article printed in the July edition. I was stopped mid-turn by a photo I recognized: “Souls Medal of Honor”, a piece of mine that I just wrote about here a few days ago.

the In the Mix section. Love the bottom half of the right hand page :)

 

Very shocking and very nice! The “In the Mix” section of Oakland Magazine includes a very nice article on Lireille Gallery, and my photo is the one they chose to run with the article. If you’re looking for the magazine in stores (aren’t you?! 🙂 ) here’s what the cover looks like.

After forgetting my recycled bottle glass display materials, I improvised an earring display borrowing materials local to Mendocino, CA.

I had hoped that it would be a unique display in the gallery shop of the Mendocino Art Center, and luckily it is. Since this is the first time my work has been for sale in Mendocino I wanted to make sure it looks nice.

Pacific Grove & a weekend at the Jody Royee Gallery in Carmel


The weekend was enjoyable at the Jody Royee Gallery in Carmel, where I showed my jewelery along with fellow art jewelers Fran Grinels and Daria Salus. Lesley Anne Spowart joined us also and her paintings help make the gallery a lovely place.


The Friday night opening of the tour at the Pacific Grove Art Center was lively. Afterwards, Fran and I dropped off artwork for the “Expressions in Metal” show which runs from Oct 24th to Dec 11th at the Pacific Grove Art Center.
