"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.

  • "Atrium Earrings" a multi-layered, fine gauge stainless steel earrings
    Located in Morgan Hill, CA
    Crafted by the brilliant mind of Taos, New Mexico based Jeweler/ Metal Smith, Julie Lake. The Atrium Earrings are stunning and complex pieces of jewelry. Featuring layers of interwoven three-dimensional geometric shapes made from highly polished stainless steel wire assembled with a triangular earring post. 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...
