Well Received

Fellow art jeweler Fran Grinels and I had a wonderful evening at the Lireille Gallery on Friday August 7th. We were amazed at the turnout for our first ever artists’ reception as featured artists.

Most of the pieces seen in the case remain at Lireille Gallery. The work on the black velvet pad is my private collection of pieces I have created over the last ten years that is either a personal favorite and/or has been published in a book or calendar or received recognition.

The “Reflections” and “Swirling Schools” pieces have been enjoyable to create over this past month, and I’ll be writing a blog post soon with pictures of some of the steps involved in creating them starting from a SCUBA dive and sketches drawn at the beach.
