I’m excited to announce that I will be in a 4-person show at the Evanston Art Center from April 6-26 in the first-floor gallery space. The show features four enamel artists who explore the boundaries of this beautiful medium, each in a unique way. In addition to jewelry, I’ll be showing all-new wall art and vessels, and all work is for sale.
On Friday, April 6, from 5-8pm, we’ll be having an opening reception for the show, with complimentary food and beverages. All artists will be present, so come out and meet us!
Here’s a sneak peek of artwork I’m creating for an upcoming 4-person enameling show at the Evanston Art Center. This one is called “Flower Girl”, collage enamel on steel. I’ve been experimenting with creating other enamel works in addition to jewelry, a fun and interesting challenge.
