Jewels on TV!


My jewels are famous! Well....kind of. Minnesota Public Television created a new series, MN Original, to highlight local, working Minnesotan artists and film them in their habitat. Me and my studio mates Emily Johnson, Betty Jager, and Rita Van Allen were honored to be filmed for this great program. Our show aired this evening, but check it out on the website along with other amazing artists and their stories! Get to know some of your Minnesota artists!

The Grand Hand continually offers the best of contemporary fine American craft from local artisans to well established national icons in a variety of media: wood, fiber, glass, clay, and of course jewelry.

Art-A-Whirl!

Art-A-Whirl is here again! Every spring the Arts District in Northeast Minneapolis comes alive with the largest art crawl and gallery tour in the nation. Every artist building, studio, and gallery in the area opens their doors to an enthusiastic crowd. Thousands of people come to check out the local art scene and view new collections and artists' working spaces. Hundreds of artists from fibers, clay, paint, video, and of course jewelry will display their work for show and sale.

Stop by our studio in the Northrup King Building studio 435 to check out my new collection focused on asymmetrical elements and weights and balances. My studio mates Emily Johnson, Betty Jager, Rita VanAllen, and Susan Frerichs are eager to show you their new work as well. We will also host local coffee roasters Megan and Shawn Person of Public Coffee House who will hand out hot cups of coffee to keep you alert as you take in all the local art.

Busy, busy!

The snow is all gone, the birds are chirping, the grass is green... could it be... spring?! Along with the longer, warmer days spring also brings art show season. This year I will participate in three amazing shows: the Walker Art Mart, Art-A-Whirl, and close the summer with the Uptown Art Fair. I am ecstatic to join the ranks at these prestigious events and am working hard to bring a fresh new collection to show. Here's another sneak peek to jewels: layered blackened sterling silver chain with lustrous pearl accents. It is so delicate but still has a great toughness to it as well.
