Gustav Stickley, Gustav Reyes and Wood Art Jewelry

We are back from Madison Wi. and it was a great show for us. The weather was perfect and as I have said in the past " I don't want life to live me I want to live life." We did just that. The highlight of the show was meeting the grand daughter of Gustav Stickley she was a pure delight. Gustav Stickley is only one of my greatest inspiration google his name the name of John Ruskin and William Morris. She also purchase three pieces. That was humbling. It is nice when life comes at you that way.

Gustav Reyes Gallery Representation - Contemporary Wood Art Jewelry

My first orders from the new Galleries and Shops have been all delivered. The list below is a selection of the galleries and shops that I am now represented by. If you had told me twenty years ago that I would have my wood art jewelry represented in the same space as a designer like Hervé Van der Straeten, I would have said that you were crazy. This journey is amazing and I truly believe one creates ones life.

Back from The American Craft Council Show - Baltimore

The American Craft Council Show in Baltimore went great. The new work went over better than I could have imagined. We picked up some of the best national galley representation around. I would like to thank Manuel Perez for her endless help in getting ready for the show.
