Wearable Art

Living on the boat and no longer having access to a studio has resulted in a redirection of my creativity- TEMPORARILY!  Until I acquire studio space with kilns, etc., my primary creative outlet will be jewelry.  I created over 40 necklaces, bracelets, and pair of earrings which are now on display and available for sale at Red Brick Gallery 315 E. Main Street, Ventura, CA.  This collection is entirely beach-themed using all-natural materials such as sea glass, shell, coral, abalone, freshwater pearl, wood, and semi-precious stones.  Prices range from $10 to $75 and custom orders are being accepted for men, women, and children... I'll even make a collar for your beach-bound hound if you'd like.

Response to my jewelry (or wearable art as I like to call it) has been enthusiastic. I have sold 3 necklaces right off my neck in the past 2 weeks and was even stopped by a pedestrian on Main Street in downtown Ventura to ask where I bought the necklace I was wearing. I'm very optimistic that this new endeavor will be rewarding and financially fruitful. In keeping up with the momentum of my productivity, my next step is to develop business cards, professional images, packaging, a website, and an Etsy account. For now, here are some amateur photos I took of some of my work.
