I had the pleasure of meeting the owners and the creative esthetic behind Patina Gallery, Barnett and Allison, at the American Craft Council Show in Baltimore. They are really wonderful and warm people. I was honored to be included in their up coming show "NEW ARTISTS, FOR THE NEW DECADE" (Details below)

"NEW ARTISTS, FOR THE NEW DECADE"

131 West Palace Ave.
Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501


May 14 - June 6 Now in its second decade, Patina Gallery introduces artists new to the gallery with an exhibition of works in a variety of media. Ivan Barnett and his wife Allison are committed to presenting the freshest and most exciting talent to their clients and friends.

My first orders from the new Galleries and Shops have been all delivered. The list below is a selection of the galleries and shops that I am now represented by. If you had told me twenty years ago that I would have my wood art jewelry represented in the same space as a designer like Hervé Van der Straeten, I would have said that you were crazy. This journey is amazing and I truly believe one creates ones life.

The American Craft Council Show in Baltimore went great. The new work went over better than I could have imagined. We picked up some of the best national galley representation around. I would like to thank Manuel Perez for her endless help in getting ready for the show.

I am excited to be showing a the American Craft Council show in Baltimore this this month. As I get older it become more difficult to make friends but last year at the Philadelphia Museum Craft Show I had the pleasure to meet many wonderful artist one that I am happy to call a friend is Eric Silva. I hope to meet many more artists and customers in Baltimore. Come visit us at Booth #916 to see my Wood Art Jewelry.

I have said many times that I don't want life to live me, I want to live life. Last month I displayed my Wooden Art Jewelry at the The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show which is a premier show and sale of contemporary craft. I would like to say that life was on full display and for sale in the wonderful work. I was enthralled with the art lovers of Philadelphia and constantly reminded that the life I live is my creation. Thank you to the wonderful museum's Women's Committee and Craft Show Committee.
