Creativity, in my experience, is a constant flow of possibilities that come to mind, and relate to one’s personal life, self awareness, growth and experience. In its purist form, an idea is like a vision. Along with a vision can come inspiration. Manifesting an idea can become an inspired spiritual process, and an honoring, of the original vision. Personally, I find the greatest reward in being an artist, in that clarity and definition of creative process.” -Gallen Benson, 2005 I currently work as an individual artist creating one-of-a-kind jewelry
and very limited production jewelry. I began making jewelry in 1974. I
am a self taught enamellist and jewelry maker. My educational
background was in fine arts, with a focus in sculpture. My work
experience has been quite varied, working nationally, and on occasion
internationally, with clothing designers, prestige jewelry retailers,
precious jewelry manufacturers, celebrities, galleries and museums.
Presently, I work primarily with private customers and collectors. My
most recent project was a one man show at
the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts
Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. You can find my public and private
show schedule posted on this site. Please feel
free to contact me regarding my work, or
Cynthia Stoll at Lake Hill House. |
