"Strawberry Fields" is 48"w x 36"h unframed and is ready to hang.. Fields of Flowers by Betty Franks Fields of Flowers by Betty Franks is an immersive exhibition featuring Betty's vibrant and beautiful large-scale paintings. Taking inspiration from hikes in the California mountains and walks within neighborhoods, Betty’s work explores the chaos, balance, and beauty found in nature. Where color, texture, and form create simple yet complex dialogues. It was while picking wildflowers during walks with her mother in Croatia that she was inspired to translate that experience into layers of paint, pencil markings, and colorful forms. At first chaotic, it is in this arena that she uses intuitive mark-making, layers of paint, and changes in color to bring a careful balance between order and disorder. Betty Franks was born in Toronto, Canada, and raised in San Jose, California. She is a self-taught abstract artist who started painting when she turned 50. Although it seems late in life to take up painting, the timing was just right for her. After a long career in customer service management, she was ready to unleash her creative side.

  • "Ventalglio Necklace " a contemporary, fine gauge stainless steel necklace
    Located in Morgan Hill, CA
    Crafted by the brilliant mind of New Mexico based jeweler, Julie Lake. The Ventaglio Necklace is a visually delicate, yet deceptively strong, complex architectural necklace. Featuring layers of interwoven three-dimensional geometric links, created from highly polished stainless steel wire. This piece is best worn against bare skin or dark-colored clothing, which allows the piece to create contrast with the high polish and displays the intricacy of the design. Hook can clasp onto any of the end links, allowing adjustment from 19.5"–22"L. Bio Julie Lake hand fabricates her metal work exclusively from a spring tempered, fine gauge stainless steel. She uses an arc welding process at precise settings to join the metal by melting and fusing it together at the tiny joints. The nature of this stainless steel, along with the welding process, allows Lake to create complex and visually fragile, yet deceptively strong forms with very small diameter wires. Although the welding of steel is typically regarded as an industrial process, Lake likens her technique to the domestic act of sewing or knitting. By way of welding, she methodically and repetitively stitches together the threads of stainless steel which accumulate into larger forms. Her decision to only create with this very specific material is quite minimalistic, but Lake engages with the material with multidisciplinary intent. Her work spans from large scale art installation, to design-driven functional items, to wearable and decorative pieces rooted in fine craft. This multidisciplinary approach allows the individual pieces to cross-pollinate with and inform each other. Lake's training as a maker started at a very young age. Her father, Ron Lake, is a machinist who went on to establish a career creating fine folding knives...
