KunstRAI with Galerie Beyond
My Belgian gallery, Galerie Beyond, will be presenting INTO THE FLOW at KunstRAI, an Amsterdam-based contemporary art fair, April 30-May 4.
“‘INTO THE FLOW’ is a harmonious curation of art jewellery embodying a balance between intention and spontaneity. Each work aims to convey a sense of coherence, with every detail carefully considered, to create a relationship between emotion, form and texture. Our presentation hopes to lead to a dialogue of stillness and movement, where all pieces come together and create a beautiful whole.”
The reception is April 30 from 4-9pm. Then opening hours are May 1 11am-6pm, May 2 12-9pm, and May 3 & 4 11am-6pm. Find the gallery in Hall 8 - Stand 54.
3D Sketching Class with Pocosin
I will be teaching a new class online through @Pocosin School of Fine Art & Craft in June. 3D Sketching: Exploring Material and Form is based on my “3D Sketching” exercise, which is a method of finding inspiration, generating ideas, and exploring materials. Similar to using a pencil in a sketchbook, this exercise is about sketching jewelry and objects with mixed-media. Learning this exercise will help you investigate ideas in your own studio, spark new work, and boost your practice when you feel stuck. I will provide prompts as students create a series of sketches that they can examine to discover details about their own creative processes.
Online Wednesday, June 11, 18, and 25 from 3-5pm EST - $210

“Power is not always an act of force. it’s a presence, a resonance, a weight that lingers in silence. This show explores author jewellery as a vessel for quiet strength, where form, material and space speak in whispers yet leave lasting imprints.”
