Today and tomorrow, 10-5, the Toe River Arts Studio Tour continues. My mini studio is set up. You can see my current, available work. Thanks to everyone who has visited so far, it's truly been a pleasure.

The Toe River Arts Studio Tour begins tomorrow. Friday-Sunday, visit the artists in their studios and see their work. Friday evening is the opening reception, where visitors can view an exhibit of our work. I'm #49 in the tour guide.

Two events this weekend: Current: New Works Exhibit opening reception and the Toe River Arts Studio Tour. I'm excited to be participating in the exhibit and the tour. I wish I could clone myself and be at both events, including the return of the Mermaid Festival in Marshall, NC! So many wonderful happenings in WNC!

My jewelry, as well as a couple of my sculptural pieces, will be at Linville Falls Winery tomorrow, Sunday, for the artisan Market at the Red Barn. These pieces represent the industrial pieces I do. https://www.facebook.com/marketintheredbarn

This pendant, titled Mer World, will be part of a group exhibit at the Arts Center of the Madison County Arts Council in Marshall, NC. The exhibit coincides with the return of the Mermaid Festival, a beloved Marshall tradition. https://madisoncountyarts.com/events-calendar/currents-new-work-group-exhibit/

During Soiree over the weekend, a guy was viewing my work and mentioned baling wire, or dark annealed steel wire. He mentioned that he loves working with it. And then we had a brief nerd moment. Industrial steel wire has a distinct look in jewelry. It is messy, it has a slight risk of rusting, but I love the look of it. Hammered, smooth, any shape, it creates a certain aesthetic. Never hesitate to nerd out about something you love. You've got a pack out there that totally understands.

My work will now be available at the Folk Art Center. I'm looking forward to being part of this establishment, and such an ensemble of artists and crafters.

The quietness of winter brings an opportunity for the mind to be calm, to let creativity inhabit more space. It is a time to set aside the demands of shows and festivals and seasonal traffic, and allow our art to manifest. A bit like our beloved black bears, we are hibernating...and when warmer weather returns to Western NC, we emerge renewed.

A highlight of 2025, as an artist: I re-organized my studio 135,000 times. Still not satisfied.
