I am a mixed media artist. I believe painting would be the strongest
area I have been successful with. I have had a space in an
antiques/interiors market for eight years. I enjoyed the process of
creating art and the pleasure of selling it.
I did start to realize that jewelry was always a big seller. When
the market dropped, I decided to quit renting space.
I always bought jewelry myself while traveling etc. and I tended
towards original works of art rather than manufactured. I decided
that I would concentrate on learning the art of metalsmithing as an
art form as I too wanted to sell jewelry but I wanted to create it
rather than purchase it. I found a teacher through the goldsmith
society last year and this year became a member.
I am brand new to metalsmithing. I have conquered the basics,
sawing, filing, soldering,finishing. I tend to be interested in
textures, patinas, and desire to incooperate drawing into my work.
I do have a rolling mill, flexshaft and most of the things one would
need except experience and knowledge. Hopefully joining Ganoskin
will further my creative spirit.
