Exciting News: My First Time at the Lowell Arts Artist Market!

I’m beyond excited to announce that I’ll be participating in the Lowell Arts Artist Market for the very first time this year! If you’re not familiar with Lowell, it’s a charming little town just east of Grand Rapids, and it’s the perfect destination for a day trip—especially if you’re a fan of local art, unique finds, and small-town charm.

When you visit Lowell, you’ll discover so much more than just an art market. The town is brimming with delightful places to explore. Whether you're a lover of vintage treasures or modern-day crafts, there’s something for everyone. Take a stroll through one of the local antique shops, browse through the adorable mercantile store, or step into the beautiful gallery co-op that showcases incredible fine arts and fine crafts. You’ll find the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one, all while supporting local artists and artisans.

The Lowell Arts Artist Market is especially special this year, filled with an incredible variety of handmade items that make perfect gifts for the upcoming holiday season—or just to treat yourself! From unique jewelry and ceramics to stunning paintings and textiles, you’ll find something that truly speaks to you.

But the fun doesn’t stop at the art market! Lowell has a selection of cozy restaurants and cafes where you can relax and enjoy a delicious meal after a day of shopping and exploring. It’s the kind of town where you’ll want to wander around, take in the sights, and enjoy the friendly atmosphere.

I can’t wait to be a part of this wonderful event and share my work with you all!

My newest piece, Sol is now finished. It is made of my grandmother’s jewelry, handmade watercolor, a fused glass leaf (made in my studio) and 24k gold. She represents the sun and is a counterpart to Luna.

Wearable are back! Check them out…

Don't let the glitter deter you. These pieces are elegant, delicate, and special. Each sparkle represents the magic in nature. My work is supposed to represent things we see everyday that we often over look. I want these pieces to remind you how special our natural world is.

Still working on this grasshopper. I am behind on #marchmeetthemaker, ugh. I will get back on track tomorrow. I have had such a busy week. We started remodeling our bathroom. And I have tried to keep my kids out of the house because of all the noise. I am ready for the weekend. Hopefully I can get in my studio for a bit. 😬🙏

I guess my last post would have applied to yesterday’s #marchmeetthemaker, which was motivation/goals. I have so many goals, I don’t know where to begin sometimes! But in the end, it all seems to work out. Right now my goal is to get these pendants finished! As for motivation, that would be my family. They keep me running.
