2011-03-30T11:48:00.000-07:00

We are so pleased to present Kree Arvanitas & her beautiful acrylic, mixed media paintings created with bits & pieces of fragmentary & momentary illuminations seen through the prisms of color, imagination & humor...

"Kidnapped at birth by crazed Irish nuns, Kree was rescued by marauding Tuareg cyber warriors. Trained in the arcane skills of subterfuge, fantasy and fomenting small rebellions, she was downloaded into a Dutch windmill where years of solitude sparked her passion for the arts. Kree’s work ranges from the ridiculous to the sublime, depending upon her feeding schedule. Her experiences as a graphic artist, miniaturist, bohemian world citizen and itinerant henna dervish influence her acrylic, mixed media and digital pieces. Rife with exotic henna patterns, riddled with steamy visual contraptions or dipped in the glittery afterglow of serene shisha dreams – you decide!"

To see more of her work, go here!

Come to the Fremont First Friday Art Walk!

Our "Artist of the Month" for March is Janelle Lile! Lile's work is best described as rural, simplistic, contemporary. Think layers of line drawings & paint, which reference the figure with obsolete technology.

Nothing is ever as clear-cut and straightforward as a diagram would lead you to believe.

Stern's passion for hiking & photography is a wonderful mix! Look at this picture of the North Cascades National Park here in Washington. Need I say more? To see more of his work (play?) go to www.joshuasternphotography.com.

Nick is a graduate of the Ringling School of Art and Design, and holds a BFA in Illustration as well as an Associates in Art. Since college, he has pursued a career as a Gallery Artist.

Ethan Jack Harrington - Artist's Reception, July 3rd, 6-9PM!

2009-06-20T15:01:00.000-07:00

We're in for a real treat!

Best known for his surrealistic cityscapes and sultry portraits, Ethan Jack Harrington’s paintings provide viewers with a whimsical perspective of the constantly evolving world. As a plein-aire oil painter, the artist captures scenes in-person, in real-time; when a subject earns his attention, Harrington sets up his easel on a sidewalk, rooftop or in an alley and quickly paints the area as he sees it at that moment. Influenced and taught by his father Jack Harrington, a professional impressionistic oil painter and illustrator, Harrington has been an artist his entire life and has painted professionally for nearly 15 years. His intensely unique style and coveted skill has developed into what is now an easily recognizable trademark among collectors.

Ethan is available for private studio tours and commissions! He'll be painting out on my sidewalk during the reception. See the artist at work! Beside all that, he's a real nice guy!

To see more of his work, go to www.ejakart.com.

It'll be a warm summer evening & we'll be having an awesome party! Come meet the artist, have good wine, yummy hors d'oeuvres, 10% off all beautiful, retail jewelry & a fun time!

Rya DeMulder - Artist for June!

2009-06-14T22:54:00.000-07:00

When I first saw Rya's work I thought they were paintings. Then I looked closer & they were actually collage pieces that she creates by cutting out intricate shapes from magazine pages!

Rya enjoys the process of collage because the limitation of the materials provides exciting challenges regarding size, color, shape and composition. She extracts elements from patterns, textures and decorative arts and organically builds refined and intricate work.

These pieces are amazing & they are gracing my walls till the end of June. Come check them out, you'll want one! To see more, go to www.ryarebecca.com.

This month we have two artists to showcase!

Lisa Lemire - Mixed media using paper, metal, glass, gemstones... it's more than an image, it mirrors moods of mystery & peace... These are larger, glass framed pieces that would command a wall all to itself. (Secret: Did you ever wonder what I did for a creative outlet before this jewelry store? This is it - well one of my outlets at least... Yep, this is my maiden/artist name!)

Laura Bowker - We're having a trunk show! Her handcrafted art glass beads that she used the Battuto technique on, a form of glass engraving... These beads are big & simply beautiful! She traveled all the way to Italy to learn this technique & she's good at it! You could wear just one of her beads on a cord & that would beautifully say it all.

I just gotta' mention this one!

2008-03-30T00:36:00.001-07:00

A customer comes in, gives me a "stick" drawing of a ring & says "I want an octopus here & a sea turtle there" (he was indicating on the side of the ring where only she would see the characters). So after some research & some heavy thought, I drew up what he wanted, but I went further than that. I thought we should express this idea fully & let it all hang out! When I called them in to take a look at my drawings I first showed him what he originally wanted. "That's exactly what I wanted!" but I said "But wait, I just gotta show you this..." I got "Oh yah, that's totally it!" Sweet! Everybody on my team was real excited about this one because it was so different. I have the most awesome wax carver, caster & jeweler ever! They all did an Excellent job! The ring is made of 18k white gold & really nice diamonds. When we make his ring, it'll be like her wedding ring with the sea weed & diamonds, only wider.

2008-03-29T23:59:00.000-07:00

Here's a sweet 18k white gold ring I made for a customer who said "She's totally into cats"... It was a little tough coming up with a cat design that wouldn't end up looking cheesy. The eyes & tails alternate in direction. Two sets of the eyes are Emeralds & the opposite sets are Tsavorite Garnets - their birthstones. This is such a cool ring & he was really happy with it!

4/9/08 Update: I just got an e-mail from my customer that I made the ring for...

"I just wanted to let you know that I proposed to Cassie this weekend... and she said YES! She loves the ring--says it is the most beautiful and wonderful ring she has ever seen!--and also she can't wait to meet you. Thanks so much for working with me and making such a great ring!"

Go here to read about their beautiful proposal!

Congratulations David & Cassie! May your lives be filled with love, friendship, happiness and laughter!
