Rekindle the Light Within


I had an amazing summer of discovery and was fortunate to visit many spots I’d never been to before including Watch Hill, RI and Mystic, CT.   And before summer slipped away, I took inspiration from those trips to create a new earring design, something that reflects the awakening of spirit, and the joy of movement, harmony and sound... and this is the story behind Love Loops, the newest item to join my jewelry collection. 
Shifting topics slightly, I spent this past weekend in Wellfleet, MA surrounded by many familiar faces including Twigs + Heather, Heart at Work, Len Shartle, Kimberley Deane Jewelry, Look at Me Designs, Bill Chisolm, Bumble Belly Designs, and Two Son Jewelry. I felt right at home at this incredible festival… and being by the ocean, well that didn’t hurt either.  Plus my new EZUP tent managed to stay intact and in place even with the overnight rain and heavy winds.  And I think my last minute decision to pick up an extra 80lbs (in the form of four 20 lbs containers of cat litter) to hold that tent in place certainly did the trick... 
After setting up the tent in the rain and encroaching darkness on Friday night, I found a warm and inviting spot at Mac's Shack on Commercial Street to sip wine, regroup and try some tempura fried pickles with Ponzu dipping sauce.  Oh yeah... highly recommend...

April News...

It's been a busy month gearing up for the craft show season, filling store orders and trying to squeeze in some time to paint.  The juggling act continues not so flawlessly but it helps to know that there are exciting things on the horizon.  First, a recap of the weekend:
UFORGE Gallery on Centre Street in Jamaica Plan.  The opening reception was so packed, there was a line to get in. Good times.
(that's my "Mermaid Girl" painting above, part of the Art Deco exhibit)
CRAFTOPIA: Another great show at the Hope Artiste Village in Pawtucket, RI.   The turnout was fantastic and while I was surrounded by many talented artists and designers, here are just a few I haven’t mentioned before/recently (for the full list of talent, click here):


Some Exciting News.  For those who can’t make it to a show or aren’t close to one of the shops carrying my work,  I’ve added an online shop to my website that features a small selection of items including seasonal, one of a kind goods and the stuff I make all year round.   And it’ll be a whole lot easier to do and create all of this... IN MY NEW STUDIO! 
I’m so freaking excited (!!!!!)…  details to come but here’s a small taste.
