| Greetings!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are happy to be beginning a new year. We are going back to our format of profiling two artists per month. This month we will show you gorgeous jewelry from New York artist Michal Golan and fabulous paintings from local artist Georgia Mason. |
|
| Michal Golan
 Michal Golan is an Israeli born, New York City based painter, printer, and jewelry designer. In her studio Michal creates hand worked jewelry pieces which combine the look of the antique with contemporary fashion sensibility. Her unusual style and technique and meticulous attention to detail distinguish these ornately jeweled designs.
Michal's designs are made entirely in the USA and are inspired by Byzantine jewelry with its generous use of gemstones and pearls, and from jewelry made during the regime of Queen Victoria. Influences from Middle Eastern art, particularly Mosaic styles, are also apparent in her lavish decoration of surfaces and use of brilliant colors.
A native of Haifa, Michal came to the US in 1976. She is a graduate of the University of Maryland in Graphic Art and holds a Masters degree from New York University in Studio Art. She has exhibited her paintings and prints in shows in Washington DC and New York. Michal was awarded the Ben-Yitzhak Medal for Distinguished Childen's Book Illustration.
Michal's jewelry has been a great favorite with us and with our customers for many years. Her vibrant colors and ever changing designs continue to delight the eye. |
Georgia Mason
Article Subtitle
Georgia Mason was born, raised and graduated college in Monroe, Louisiana. She has lived throughout the South - in Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland, and now has a home and studio in Emerald Isle, NC. She has painted for 30 years in watercolor and now works primarily in mixed-media collage.
Her work in recent years reflects a sense of freedom and experimentation. "Usually beginning with no preconceived subject matter, the painting tells me what comes next. Each work is awash with new possibilities when working with mixed media - watercolor and acrylic are intermingled. Paint can be layered, textured, scraped and scratched. Items and images are added, subtracted, imprinted, covered over, embedded, or then uncovered. Try layering paper - tissues, washi, origami, any kind. Imagination and magic are invited to slip in. What emerges generally arouses a refreshing sense of surprise and awe for me, and hopefully for the viewer. When you can walk away from conformity - the idea of what others expect or what has been created in the past - you enter an exciting new realm of possibilities and joy".
Shortly after moving to Carteret County, NC, she was selected to be the artist for the 1991 Seafood Festival Poster. She was the first woman selected for that honor, and the poster was the first in the series to depict women.
Georgia has had work juried into the Watercolor Society of NC's annual juried shows on numerous occasions. In 2005, she won First and Third Place in Mixed Media, as well as the Cassie Algeo Award for Multi Media in the spring show of the Arts Council of Carteret County (ACCC). In the 2004 spring show of the ACCC her piece "St Francis and the Swami" won the People's Choice award.
