Upcoming Shows and Jewelry Events

MECA/SEA SHOW!
I am so excited to announce that I will be participating in this year's MECA/SEA Holiday Show the weekend on Dec 2-4th! I will be sharing a space with a great artist, Liz Prescott. I am looking forward to having some new items to share with the shoppers of Portland! The MECA/SEA Holiday Show is held at the East End School and to say it gets busy in there would be an understatement! So excited to get a chance to share my work!

PRIVATE PARTY!
Bonnie, a good friend of mine, has been kind enough to host a Maggie Style Jewelry Party at her home for her colleagues in mid November. Should be a great time for sure. As I begin to write about all these events, I realize that I have a lot of work to do!!!

WEDDING LINE!
I am one of the organizers for a local Maine Women's Wedding Expo that will be held in January. I have been asked to create bridal party gems for an upcoming wedding, so I have decided to expand my line to include some new fantastic tumbled glass and fresh water pearls jewelry perfect for any wedding day.

The LocalMotion Show was a great way to get me motivated to start finding venues for my work. I showed two paintings at the Meg Perry Center in Portland for the event. There were performances all night. I wasn't able to make it through the whole night because of an oncoming cold that seems to be running rampant around these parts.

The piece shown above is called "Eye on the Prize". It's another in the series of home ownership in these tumultuous economic times. So often do we block out the ugly side of owning a home to keep our vision clear on the possession of something we can call ours.....or the bank's....if you really think about it long enough!

So my next deadline is October 31rst for the RISD New England Biennial. I am excited to get to work on some new pieces for the show!

The website is up and running. You can check out my latest paintings and jewelry creations. I am still working on the bio and links for Nia...so stay tuned! This has definitely been a labor of love and I am so excited about the look of the new website. I designed the tree myself. Thanks for the inspiration from my friend, Catherine. I love the idea of roots to define where I started, the trunk of the tree swaying as if dancing through life and the limbs all bearing the fruit of my ideas. A little hoaky for sure, but it works!
