Southern Oregon Artists Resource

I am a novice in the field of ceramics, primarily Raku, and lapidary art. While in college I took metalsmithing and had a minor in Art History. Now that I am retired I have the time to develop my interests in these arts fields. Please see Jill's listing in the Visual Artists directory.

Hand fabricated, one of a kind jewelry designs in sterling silver and stone. With a few exceptions, all of the lapidary work is done by me.

I create one-of-a-kind jewelry and wearable art that combine ethnic and modern themes with contemporary techniques. I begin each needlewoven necklace with fibers and yarns, then add metals and semi-precious stones for strength and sparkle. My scarves are handwoven on a floor loom or are nuno-felted with merino wool on silk chiffon.

Jannie creates stained glass art and fused glass jewelry from her studio in Talent. She evolved from classical designs to her own abstract creations, frequently incorporating geode slices into the designs. Her work has been published in an art glass book featuring glass artists from around the world and can be seen in various locations in Ashland and Jacksonville.
