“Celestial Bodies” Necklaces launched

Celestial Bodies is a series which evokes the image of planets moving endlessly through the vacuum of space around their primary. In this sense, your head is the sun around which the planets of the piece revolve. Each necklace is carefully balanced and has had its pieces chosen specifically to evoke other-worldly images.  Most  elements found in each piece have been carefully selected from a 30-year collection of vintage jewelry, up-cycled for these new creations. No two are identical, making you the only person in the universe with this unique and wearable art. View the whole collection.

Art is everywhere

According to this photo’s entry in Wikipedia, the artist named this photo Salmon-30-Salmon in reference to a fluke incident that occured 3/30/87. After departure from Juneau, Alaska, the Boeing 737-200 hit a fish dropped by a Bald Eagle.

An art show at a Canadian Tire? It works!

My latest show is up! Yes, it’s at a Canadian Tire. One of Ottawa School of Art’s offsite galleries is located in the Exit Lobby of a Canadian Tire. An odd location for a gallery or the perfect place to introduce people — 1000 people per day!!! — to local art? I’ve already sold 2 at that location!

  • Canadian Tire (Exit Lobby is an OSA offsite gallery)
  • 330 Coventry Rd., Ottawa. Dec 13 to Feb 7
