Elsie Kaye Artisan Gifts & Flamework Studio

Using a torch, glass rods, and metal wire, Holly Kenny has been creating unique art to adorn the home and body since 2007. She is drawn to the fluidity of glass and how it contrasts with the malleability of silver and gold metal. A favorite part of her work is when the glass begins to "speak" and pushes the boundaries of what is possible. Holly loves to translate this imagination and possibility into a unique piece of wearable or functional, everyday art. She incorporates hand-forged sterling silver and 14K gold-filled metals into one-of-a-kind jewelry, giftware and home décor.

Art by Walter Perlman
MEET THE ARTIST...
Photographer Walter Perlman experiments with light and different media and creates images, which he photographs. He uses props such as plastic translucent boxes and metal tools and arranges the props in patterns and applies fabric paint. Perlman then sprays water over the props and adjusts the lighting.
A macro lens allows him to focus in on the image, giving it a "molecular" look. By shooting the image from three inches away, Perlman can make a quarter-inch image look like a four-inch image.
Perlman says, "I'm creating the images – creating something that does not exist ... and making it more
dramatic."

Compago Creative
MEET THE ARTIST....
For artist Sandra Pirie-St. Amore, contrast and balance play a part in all of her work. In her watercolor paintings, it is the contrasting balance of loose brushwork with the right amount of detail. In her ceramic art, it is the contrasting feel of the two surfaces of the raw drawn-on clay against the smooth glossy finish of the glaze.
Curves, saturated earthy colors, patterns, texture and all things "Mother Nature" are a constant in Pirie-St. Amore’s work. She started her art career as a graphic designer and moved towards watercolor illustration. Several years ago she discovered the pleasure of clay and the rest is history!
