His father was a Baptist minister, who along with his mother, gave him a strong foundation for life. His mom fostered his early interest in art by providing him with painting and drawing lessons. <br /><br />The artist's work is inspired by early native American arts in all of its forms —- the colorful geometrics of the Great Plains tribes' bead work, the Navajo' weavings, the Mimbres' pottery, the designs and motifs painted on teepees -- horses, weapons, faces; and the mysterious rock paintings found all over the American West. He draws from these earthy primitive colors, textures, designs and stylized figures and combines these elements to create new abstract forms. He has also been influenced by the abstract expressionists.<br /><br />Heron began marketing his paintings in 1997 when Billy Hoxie, then owner of Watermelon Sugar Gallery in Traverse City, Michigan, first accepted his work. About a year later, the artist met Joe DeLuca. Joe is well-known throughout the Midwest for his abstract paintings and is a retired art professor from Western Michigan University. His advice and mentoring have greatly shaped Heron's work.<br /><br />See the above eight paintings at Gallery Fifty now or call for more information: 231-932-0775.Gallery Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13829124617092395476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423370572322952197.post-80506682795973091582011-08-15T09:20:00.000-07:002011-08-15T10:00:12.344-07:00Time, Space and Matter: Paintings by Amy Kerr Hardin<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhs2ChhmLY098-P1XBX2GshnJuAU_e3qDz6lBemPAx8N6kVYxW4BHoDI_lLdmZ4tvZLhm1FMG6PwdhCmTztTbBsXOdB9XG7tgYwwxFkLxrS6kyJuwwwQviKcOBbCWPAnUNfTqJiRAQTfoX/s1600/Turtles.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 156px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhs2ChhmLY098-P1XBX2GshnJuAU_e3qDz6lBemPAx8N6kVYxW4BHoDI_lLdmZ4tvZLhm1FMG6PwdhCmTztTbBsXOdB9XG7tgYwwxFkLxrS6kyJuwwwQviKcOBbCWPAnUNfTqJiRAQTfoX/s400/Turtles.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641126769499755842" /></a><span style="font-weight:bold;">Turtles, All the Way Down</span>

<br />Amy Kerr Hardin has been an oil painter for four decades ever since she discovered painting at the age of twelve. At about the same time she entered junior high school and took a science class titled “Time, Space, and Matter”. Here she gained a lifelong fascination with the physical universe - - those properties known and those of theory became Amy’s area of interest.
<br />
<br />This collection titled “Time, Space, and Matter” is an homage to that long-ago science class which inspired that nascent artist with an inquisitive mind.
<br />
<br />Mythology, fantasy, and the world of dreams is woven into these works. Amy also took inspiration from the study of the human mind’s perception of the universe. Bilateralisation, also known as “left-brain/right-brain” plays an important role in this collection. Each piece stimulates both the linear left hemisphere and the holistic right hemisphere. These paintings represent both our inner and outer universes.
<br />
<br />Amy’s style is bold and meant to be attention-grabbing. They are not intended to be the docile companions of beige sofas. Her works have been purchased regionally, nationally and internationally by collectors with an eye for her bold style and confident hand.
<br />
<br />Amy maintains a busy studio overlooking the beautiful woods of Williamsburg, Michigan. Each season brings new light and new inspiration to her and her work.
<br />
<br />The show will be up through September 6, 2011. Please contact Gallery Fifty at 231-932-0775 to inquire about Amy's work.

Chunks of layered automotive paint were painstakingly scraped from the conveyor, then cut and polished into gems. Patterns emerge from the Fordite depending on the angle of the cut or depth of the polishing. Since technology has replaced the spray booth, Fordite is becoming increasingly rare and valuable. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Is that a... ring!?</span><br /><br />James Blanchard makes jewelry because it feels good. Each tiny sculpture he creates inspires him to make another. Working primarily in sterling silver, clean lines are formed using simple geometry and balance. He considers his approach to be “contemporary.”<br /><br />Typically, his pieces are constructed using bright metal and a gemstone as the focal point. Lately, he’s been experimenting with Fordite cabochons set in oxidized sterling settings that have been filed to create a distressed finish.<br /><br />Because he didn’t go to art school, he considers himself an artist of his own making. James rarely works from sketches, relying on an uncanny ability to transmit designs directly from his brain to his hands. His hope is that the work stimulates the senses and evokes questions.<br /><br />James shows at about 5 art fairs annually and is represented exclusively through Gallery Fifty in his hometown of Traverse City, Michigan.Gallery Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13829124617092395476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423370572322952197.post-85193101057220963962010-12-10T09:09:00.001-08:002011-02-25T11:11:46.766-08:00Fordite Cuff Bracelet<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Fo5jnJsDVCwN451Yl_07Xs2UtpVj5VAECFvV2YazqG3uPUn0TQCcMFVkk3-ZHBIYSV6rPlalusKCRIE9eWvGg2DrKdRNLZHe3CUDDwyXJOtjQ6APiPzEtrgJ7YEbhX_CuXTxZj7IiKSN/s1600/Cuff2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 227px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Fo5jnJsDVCwN451Yl_07Xs2UtpVj5VAECFvV2YazqG3uPUn0TQCcMFVkk3-ZHBIYSV6rPlalusKCRIE9eWvGg2DrKdRNLZHe3CUDDwyXJOtjQ6APiPzEtrgJ7YEbhX_CuXTxZj7IiKSN/s400/Cuff2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577706941753883394" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip1tq6H5jLKYWdQWZiBKZ0wo4VqlENsulidR0VAQV22KdNcDnHLDQUm-TLhHEr6NasP2DCcnFn4tgiGYmYCwNWZjkPG7HSVGXcIuAaWEdaO_wOqqANi7S_zcSncHlJdyv2lVq2-ygyXif7/s1600/Cuff1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip1tq6H5jLKYWdQWZiBKZ0wo4VqlENsulidR0VAQV22KdNcDnHLDQUm-TLhHEr6NasP2DCcnFn4tgiGYmYCwNWZjkPG7HSVGXcIuAaWEdaO_wOqqANi7S_zcSncHlJdyv2lVq2-ygyXif7/s400/Cuff1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577706772938528882" /></a>These cuffs bracelets are crafted out of sterling silver and can be adjusted to fit most any wrist. $195.

They believe that life is more beautiful and more livable when surrounded by things that are made by hand. Their work is created for those who search for this quality in fine crafts and objects. They share this connection with those who own their work.<br /><br />Each piece is one-of-a-kind and handmade in Swannanoa, North Carolina by Ed and Kate. Because of this, their work is sold in assortments. They will always take special requests for colors, designs, and other specifics, but feel the work is stronger when they are given the freedom to create. Each piece is truly a work of art when it is an original.<br /><br />For more information or for our current selection, call Gallery Fifty at 231-932-0775.Gallery Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13829124617092395476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423370572322952197.post-25679327375290562892010-08-11T12:02:00.000-07:002010-08-12T13:41:53.175-07:00Introducing Cathy Broski<span style="font-weight:bold;">"I enjoy the story and form that grow together as each piece evolves.

Figures, houses, boats and pottery are all vessels to contain things we hold dear, and sometimes those things we would cast off. Cathy chose these forms to work with because they have several levels of meaning she finds intriguing to explore. She loves found objects, because of their wear and marks of their journeys. This is the feel Cathy tries to achieve on her surfaces by using a layering technique. <br /><br />Cathy begins each piece on the potters wheel or with slabs. The pieces grow with the application of coils or additional slabs. When each piece is completed, She carves or textures the surface. The base colors of terra sigilattas and slips are applied and fired. Once the first firing is complete, Cathy applies and wipes off a combination of stains and glazes, then fires again to cone 6. This process is repeated until the desired effect is achieved. <br /><br />Since receiving her BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1990, Cathy has worked in the ceramics field in many capacities. Presently she is represented by numerous galleries, teaches several pottery classes, instructs workshops, sells work at art fairs, and has been published in several ceramic periodicals. In 2000, she and her husband built a studio right outside their backdoor. And in 2007 they completed a 40 cu ft gas car kiln.<br /><br />For more information, or to see Cathy's work, visit Gallery Fifty at the Grand Traverse Commons or call 231-932-0775.Gallery Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13829124617092395476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423370572322952197.post-64303311058943661992010-08-05T11:16:00.000-07:002010-08-05T14:11:36.232-07:00Carolyn Hudson: Attention to Detail<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Oxx5AB9CcVfBWLoeHusyBUtLqkpjChLB1kly0fPTl1IwIe1OEg8ba0Ku-q5xE_Vb6YDO_PCQsIGb_3-uDo0rngqGcPF5gj5zzkXm_0HqCR7rqizpNPEWQiQDiR8y8Kg28Pv6lwcDcbwV/s1600/stones+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 305px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Oxx5AB9CcVfBWLoeHusyBUtLqkpjChLB1kly0fPTl1IwIe1OEg8ba0Ku-q5xE_Vb6YDO_PCQsIGb_3-uDo0rngqGcPF5gj5zzkXm_0HqCR7rqizpNPEWQiQDiR8y8Kg28Pv6lwcDcbwV/s400/stones+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502036009282083058" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8_krv1jrxf_kwTde_V5VyDxAwZL0B6HQ7whJ_TsEDhbjFpYsxKzEdtlXk1IgPPCauPy-q8vXrbO9TUpGuWh9m0EiZ7f4snY0t8MrmiyYSg-B6W-RgmeoI8rDaR2AQ6YneEZWsFwc-CO1A/s1600/IMG_0978.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8_krv1jrxf_kwTde_V5VyDxAwZL0B6HQ7whJ_TsEDhbjFpYsxKzEdtlXk1IgPPCauPy-q8vXrbO9TUpGuWh9m0EiZ7f4snY0t8MrmiyYSg-B6W-RgmeoI8rDaR2AQ6YneEZWsFwc-CO1A/s400/IMG_0978.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501991883007326274" /></a><span style="font-weight:bold;">Carolyn Hudson: Attention to Detail</span><br />August 6 - September 30, 2010<br /><br />Carolyn Hudson draws her inspiration from the local landscape and wildlife and she is best known for her beach stone drawings and dog portraits. She started her career working primarily with graphite, but slowly added colored pencil to her repertoire and has been working strictly with that medium for the past twenty-five years. She has recently added the silver-point drawing to the mix which has the feel of her old roots in graphite. Hudson is a signature member of the Colored Pencil Society of America and received her bachelor of art degree from Waynesburg University.<br /><br />The public is invited to an opening reception at the Grand Traverse Commons location on Friday, August 6 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.; 231-932-0775.

"And even now, with 25 years of building high quality furniture, I still consider myself, first and foremost, an artist.” <br /><br />Gadek's schooling took him to Colorado State University where majoring in Painting gave him absolutely no real world job abilities. After college, he moved to northern Michigan. While working as a graphic artist at a small printing company Gadek was selling two-dimensional work at regional galleries. Slowly, the paintings he was selling evolved into unique mirrors and tables. After 15 years, Chip left his job as a graphic artist to put all of his time into building ‘art furniture.’ Now with more then a thousand pieces under his belt, furniture is still what he wants to create. “I still paint for myself, but I really enjoy making things that can be used on a daily basis,” he says.<br /><br />The artist now sells work in galleries throughout Michigan, Florida, Arizona and California. This is where he can work on new ideas, creating furnishings that push the envelope. And of course, this is where potential customers that might order special items, can see the beautiful handcrafted work that he offers. “My work is contemporary, but not modern. It has the ability to look good in any surrounding.” Like all fine craftsman, he only uses traditional joinery methods, such a mortise and tenon and dovetails; doing as much of the work as possible, by hand, including layer upon layer of hand-rubbed oil finishes.<br /><br />For more information on Chip Gadek, or to see some of his incredible art furniture, visit either of our Gallery Fifty locations: 321 East Front Street; 231-946-0610 or 800 Cottageview Drive; 231-932-0775, Traverse City, Michigan.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Here are some examples of the kinds of work that have already sold.

The artist describes his "head space" as The Wizard of Oz meets Alice in Wonderland while creating this new body of work. Sticks, twigs and accumulations of nature have replaced the motherboards, industrial remnants and collections of urban refuse. Elements of urban angst have slowly morphed into serene textures of a more natural environment. Though Snoddy is "not in Kansas," nor L.A. anymore, he has been seduced by the Midwestern spirit and is loving it.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Artist Statement</span></span><br /> Northern Michigan is a long way from Los Angeles, evidenced by the colorful reactions I often get when bringing up my city of origin. The most common reactions are those of overwhelming traffic, way too many cars and way too many people. Most L.A. natives have these sentiments also. Other reactions might include the typical urban issues of crime, vice and corruption. The clichéd “Land of fruits and nuts” has also been heard rolling off the lips of some. All of these, clichés included, fueled my creative drive while growing up and living in el cuidad de Los Angeles. So, some may wonder what the affects of relocating to Northern Michigan are having on the creative inspiration of a transplanted west coast visual artist. I am one of those.<br /> Having worked and lived here for eight years, a budding Michiganian, this is the first work I have done from the perspective of a genuine hybrid. As with Los Angeles, my day to day living environment has had much influence on my sensibilities and direction. The Wizard of Oz meets Alice in Wonderland is somewhat descriptive of the head space I have been in for the past two years while creating most of this work. Trying to find place and direction as an African American male, after following a now ex-wife back to her home, was a bit like Alice following the white rabbit with the watch.<br /> Living on the northern bays of Lake Michigan is often dreamlike in its beauty and charm. It's also simultaneously confusing in its provincial seasonal rituals, to one who grew up in a place of constant seventy degree weather. The seemingly slavish-like devotion to hunting and fishing seasons is at odds with my city-dwelling sensibilities. Worlds of gang culture, movers and shakers and the commonplace nattily attired gives way to a world of farmers, outdoor recreation and camo. <br /> I have learned to embrace the grays and whites of winter and celebratory colors of fall. Northern cool blues and greens replace the western warmth of reds, ochres and browns. The melted snow and other of Mother Nature's liquids are absorbed by the soil and our souls. Spring blossoms, and preps for harvest fill our world. They are slowly replacing the Pacific Coast's Urban-Chic yields of asphalt, vanity and beaches. Sticks, twigs and accumulations of nature replace the motherboards, industrial remnants and collections of urban refuse. Symbolic textures of urban angst are slowly morphing into the serene textures of a more natural environment.<br /> The political climate is the one constant. Dogma tends to be more conservative in these parts than the west coast. But the “Mickey Rats” are found on the “yellow brick road” as they are found in the “Hills of Beverly”, just not as often. It is becoming commonplace for me to feel like Alice, swimming in a pool of my own tears and offending those who are swimming with me by talking about the things I love.<br /> Though “I am not in Kansas” nor L.A., I am being seduced by the Midwestern spirit and loving it.Gallery Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13829124617092395476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423370572322952197.post-23026428666346881552010-05-22T13:40:00.000-07:002010-05-22T14:21:20.992-07:00Introducing Beehive Kitchenware<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw-qbh8T5OIBdlAb7meWRB9U6NQ5lupVvcxFKwRhTcOtCAyEMdSV1PcoP08n4gDxPcyRGTCf93ANKMaIcNeWPFuUU2THiOqgzNrfF8x98SoWMr-DeAFUdI17Y4smyNI2gryhweXeZB9Bn_/s1600/QMS-LARGE.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 350px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw-qbh8T5OIBdlAb7meWRB9U6NQ5lupVvcxFKwRhTcOtCAyEMdSV1PcoP08n4gDxPcyRGTCf93ANKMaIcNeWPFuUU2THiOqgzNrfF8x98SoWMr-DeAFUdI17Y4smyNI2gryhweXeZB9Bn_/s400/QMS-LARGE.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474198822972438514" /></a><span style="font-weight:bold;">Quotes Measuring Spoons</span><br />Made with love.

For nearly four decades, Amy has been addicted to the art of oil painting. Her habit started at the age of twelve when she saved her allowance money to purchase a paint-by-numbers kit from the local dime store, and she proceeded to completely ignore the printed outline and simply flipped over the cardboard, to design her own painting.<br /><br />Amy soon discovered a local parochial high school that had a top-notch art department. Although, she is not herself Catholic, she begged and pleaded to be allowed to attend this special school. Under the guidance of some very talented teachers, her painting skills blossomed and matured. She learned how to stretch canvas, paint with palette knives, work on enormous murals, and hunt down original subject matter.<br /><br />Her paintings articulate a depth of field through strong foregrounds that create a dynamic tension and a sense of space rarely found in typical photorealism. Amy’s floral paintings seem to be alive with the wind, and her beach rock studies give the impression that one can actually reach out and feel the cold wet smoothness of her subject.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE3UyWISj0KLSHCKSj60sFK_257aEcBi-RKSp_aqYGfMqTNa3D0-1YxV4YwLvew_nDbIi_PdEsHklwvQJdixT0FTkKBe6-6KwN_xhdcNMSI8U38SCTV_1APFMsHphdckBSmmFx8uoyBliZ/s1600/Anemonie.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 294px; height: 374px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE3UyWISj0KLSHCKSj60sFK_257aEcBi-RKSp_aqYGfMqTNa3D0-1YxV4YwLvew_nDbIi_PdEsHklwvQJdixT0FTkKBe6-6KwN_xhdcNMSI8U38SCTV_1APFMsHphdckBSmmFx8uoyBliZ/s400/Anemonie.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463058810550227842" /></a><span style="font-weight:bold;">"Anemonie," 48" x 60", $2,000</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsdY3TVtT7LgU_Pmw1zSxRsqOkgLEqf6tuVJ580oICZd6z2nufvHqY6VsxA1Y09UmQBYCraHjAq10TiVhr0WmQ2W9jUBQVt-68OebhBE0Ov68rL5fw1FA5mgqv2bs8fda77P5lTX3AhfVe/s1600/FishPond.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 190px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsdY3TVtT7LgU_Pmw1zSxRsqOkgLEqf6tuVJ580oICZd6z2nufvHqY6VsxA1Y09UmQBYCraHjAq10TiVhr0WmQ2W9jUBQVt-68OebhBE0Ov68rL5fw1FA5mgqv2bs8fda77P5lTX3AhfVe/s400/FishPond.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463058993787859202" /></a><span style="font-weight:bold;">"Fish Pond I," 24" x 48", $1,200</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH7lp8ifjRNATh2GXC96QFwsh_r5eY4-F-R8Y2JlvIFQxZE4JKSm4-pRsQ0eo0wwqew1TLI4B-uM0GpKhFCxz9rqpqv0C1UiSrihJmEGf9FBlUzOACOmNa_buZWa9Xa7_gFaNBQpsAfRmD/s1600/Beach+Stones+II.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH7lp8ifjRNATh2GXC96QFwsh_r5eY4-F-R8Y2JlvIFQxZE4JKSm4-pRsQ0eo0wwqew1TLI4B-uM0GpKhFCxz9rqpqv0C1UiSrihJmEGf9FBlUzOACOmNa_buZWa9Xa7_gFaNBQpsAfRmD/s400/Beach+Stones+II.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463061638648160242" /></a><span style="font-weight:bold;">"Beach Stones II," 24" x 36", $1,000</span>Gallery Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13829124617092395476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423370572322952197.post-89362858260876393872010-04-20T10:52:00.000-07:002010-04-20T11:48:46.673-07:00Artist Reception: Renee Lynn HartigAbout fifty artists and friends turned out last Saturday evening to meet Portland artist Renee Lynn Hartig.

Creator and owner Jodi Rae Brownstein is a skilled designer, artist and metalsmith specializing in one-of-a-kind hand-fabricated creations for both women and men. Choosing materials like sterling silver, high karat golds, semiprecious and precious gems and various minerals and fossils, Jodi Rae uses diverse signature techniques to create wearable pieces that are truly unique in design.<br /><br />Each piece is rendered through an intimate process combining techniques such as forging, stamping, casting, various stone-setting methods and finishing techniques including oxidation, brushed, matte and high-polish. The finished product is one that is simple in shape and symmetry yet complex in detail, much like the natural and urban worlds from which the artist takes her inspiration. "It's a very personal process," Jodi Rae says of her craft, "I create it as it comes out of me, and I feel like it becomes a sort of pure extension of myself." <br /><br />The reflected similarities between the artist and her work can certainly be found in their capacity to be edgy but classic and timeless in design, soft and strong in shape and character, and endlessly versatile in context. "I am so inspired by the beauty of the forms and shapes found in nature and in our modern world," she states, "that I had to incorporate them directly into my art." Her particular affinity for different stones and minerals has led her to put elements like jasper, agate and fossils at the heart of many her creations.<br /><br />"It's an adventure for me every time I start a new design;" says the artist, "I often end up in a completely different place than I anticipate, and that's an exhilarating process for me." She enthusiastically claims her aspiration to be like the visually textured stones and minerals she uses in her jewelry, comparing the complex appeal of nature's patterns to the visual story she expresses in her finished pieces. It's a story she feels is constantly evolving, like her own journey through design and concept on the path of her trade, both in the past and into the future.
