Wearable Art


I now have a variety of hand made wearable art that ranges from freshwater pearls to vintage jewelry fashioned into necklaces and earrings. These pieces are fun and fashionable but not simple or plain. They demand the wearer be seen and reckoned with, marveled at and envied from afar.

"Achemy"



This is what I have always felt is at the heart of Assemblage and collage work.

Not turning lead into gold precisely, but creating something from nothing, a true spirit of creation, using discarded bits and pieces to create fantastic compositions.

I will be showing some newer pieces as well as some older favorites.

I will have one piece of sculpture on display among this wonderfull group of artists. The piece is called " Balance" . This piece won 1st place in a national juried competition juried by one of my assemblage heros and trail blazer George Herms.
