Colorful Wool Creations by Leone Wilson​
I graduated from Michigan State University with a BFA with an emphasis in printmaking, specifically etching. I moved into drawing when the acid became too much for my lungs, but I wasn’t getting what I wanted in terms of color with drawing and transitioned into oil painting. Loved it but became allergic to the paint and dropped art for gardening. Then I discovered wool applique and embellishment and became addicted. And here I am.
Unique Metal Jewelry by Tina Geisler​
Sawing and cutting, texturing with hammers and punches, coloring with fire or patinas or enamels, riveting and soldering — any number of things can be done with metals — copper, brass, fine or sterling silver. Tina uses a variety of metals, together with stones and found objects, to create unique pieces of elemental beauty — timeless wearable art you will enjoy for years to come.
Visiting Artist Rose Fenton – Creative Clay Art​
Rose Fenton will be our visiting artist at Jemez Artisans Gallery from October 17th – 30th. We hope you’ll come by the gallery to see Rose’s beautiful and functional clay works, perfect for holiday gift-giving!
With deep roots in the Jemez Mountains, I finally came back home after serving in the military and spending time overseas, including in the Middle East and Afghanistan. Sales of products support providing free service dogs to disabled veterans and first responders.
I use two different clay bodies in my work. Both clay bodies are made right here in New Mexico at New Mexico Clay. My red clay, Sandia Red, and the porcelain clay are named after our very own, and mentor to me, Shirley Powell's Columbine studio in San Ysidro. I often played in the mud as a child and finally took a class as an adult, thus beginning a journey into making functional, and sometimes not so functional, art. For me, clay is a way to turn the world off and just be in the moment. One of my favorite things is when a new bag of clay is opened; it smells just like the rain!
