CINDY GEORGE - ACRYLICS
My name is Cindy George and I live in the Inland Northwest. I have been painting in acrylics for most of my adult life. As my children have grown, I find myself committed to doing more of what I love, which is to paint, paint, paint! Primarily, I paint on small canvas with an edge so that the scene can be continued all the way around, allowing the painting to be viewed from all angles. I initially started painting on these small canvases due to time constraints but now love to work on this size. I find they can be tucked into so may interesting places such as corner shelves, coffee tables, counter and desktops, usually displayed on a miniature easel or set free standing. It is also fun to change them around with the seasons or just to stir up a memory.
I find most of the subject matter, nature and wildlife, for my art right where I live. Last Autumn, there was a herd of elk in the field at the bottom of my driveway. This summer I frequented the large commercial sunflower field just a half mile up the road. I never have to go far to find something to paint. I love how even the simple landscape can be transformed by color, light and movement of atmosphere.
This is what truly inspires me, capturing that snippet in time of Nature’s unending beauty and surprises. My goal would be for the viewer to want to be zapped into the painting, feeling transported into the scene, experiencing that mini-break we all need from time to time.
AMBER WYCKOFF - JEWELRY
Hello! I am Amber Wyckoff, the artist behind A.Wyckoff Handmade Jewelry.
My artistic vision is expressed through the use of mixed metals; silver & copper. The creative journey begins with raw materials. I saw, stamp, solder and stone set all my pieces by hand. I LOVE working with fire! Every piece I make is beautiful yet functional, making it the perfect thing to wear casually or for that special touch at an important event. I believe jewelry should be worn every day, no matter the occasion, and I design my jewelry to achieve this! My studio is located in the Pacific Northwest- in Nine Mile Falls, Washington. If I am not in my studio you will spot me out exploring the mountains!
Happy Adornment!~ Amber
