Urban Scenes
Jeff Jamison
Murfreesboro, TN

Karen stopped breathlessly in her tracks when she saw the work of Jeff Jamison.  Before she came home she was already on a mission to bring this Tennesee painter to Southern California!

 

Jeff's paintings draw the viewer in with familiar subjects presented in a fresh intriguing style. Jeff learned the value of good drawing and arresting compositions while working as an editorial illustrator right out of art school. Later, he studied the works of the masters, such as Sargent, Sorolla and Velazquez, with great admiration.

We only have two paintings right now, but hope to have more in the future.

 

Handcrafted Scarves
Doris Grieder
Savannah, GA

You'll be amazed at the beauty of these narrow, stylish fiber scarves, rich in color and texture. Doris' love of working with fibers began in knitting and sewing classes as a child in Switzerland. Over the years she has collected yarns and fibers from all over the world to craft her vibrant designs.

Doris says of her newest creations, "Once retired, there was no stopping the "fiber seeds" I had planted over the decades of collecting them... All the childhood years of loving to work with fibers and beads flooded my thoughts and dreams again. You are now looking at the results of these dreams..."

FYI: Check out Leopold's Ice Cream Parlor in Savannah. Crazy delicious!

Southern Jazz
John Mitchell
Savannah, GA

 
John Mitchell's first selection of jazz paintings were so well received that most of them were snatched up right away! But don't worry, new ones just arrived. We think you'll find his mixed media works bursting with the charm and energy of the South.

John studied art in his native North Carolina and received degrees from North Carolina Central University and Penland School of Arts and Crafts.  He lived and worked in the the Bahamas and Germany before earning a Masters in Fine Arts in Painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design. It was during his graduate studies that John's focus shifted toward the theme of shotgun houses and jazz.

Body Architecture
Suzanne Q. Evon
Asheville, NC

Karen stumbled upon Q. at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston. What a blast! Q was the only jewelry artist that she liked from that festival.

Q. attended Parsons School of Design where she discovered that her greatest skill was wax carving. In 1992 Q Evon Design was born.

Q's current line of work incorporates a variety of techniques creating rich textures in gold and silver. She strives for a timeless quality in her designs reflecting her love for medieval metalwork and architecture. Each piece is as unique as the individual who chooses to wear them.

"I love how the perfect piece of jewelry makes someone feel. When their eyes light up, it's magnificent!" - Suzanne Q. Evon
