 I am an artist and metalsmith, and have been designing and creating jewelry for many, many years. Okay, decades! I love what I do for a living!

I design and make each piece, one at a time, using traditional metalsmithing techniques. Most of my pieces are one-of-a-kind. Sometimes I work in limited editions, not more than 6 of one design. Each piece is wearable art and signed by me on the back.

I design jewelry for today's woman. She is intelligent, self-confident, discerning, and likes to have a bit of fun. With a strong appreciation for the arts, she loves wearing one-of-a kind pieces that make a statement. The statement could be bold, sleek, artsy, feminine, or playful! But she will look and feel great!

Originally from Taiwan I studied in Europe and Asia gaining a degree in Jewelry Design from the University of the Arts London.


I have loved painting and the creative arts from a very young age. The main body of my work is focused on illustration although I also design and make bespoke jewelry. Experimenting with different materials, style and techniques is a major part of what I do. I draw inspiration from every walk of life; family, friends and travels to name a few. My art is a great source of joy for me and this is something I wish to share with others.

Aside from the works displayed here I have recently started doing commissioned pieces. If you are interested in any of my works or would like me to make something unique for you please get in touch.

The barn sits on an old dairy farm with rolling hills, wild turkeys and fog most mornings. It is the place where many of the items are stored. Inside the barn there's a climate controlled area which bulges with wonderful farm tools, 1950 Ford tractors, cypress wood, silver, leather, antiques and one of a kind collectibles. Take a look at antiques, collectibles, art and real treasures.

At another time in my life, I was an advertising agency owner, copywriter, television commercial producer, grant writer and hurricane recovery coordinator. My first love is photography, always has been and always will be. The pages in my shop reflect a personal collection of thrift shop finds, packed garages, family barns and forgotten attics. Listings and images are as accurate as possible. As with all things vintage there will be imperfections, aging spots, loose threads, some wear and that is what makes vintage wonderful!

Hi. I'm Karolin Felix K.I.K and I live in windy Ireland where the houses are made of stone.. I always loved illustrations that are not only beautiful, but also make you stop and think for a moment.. so the curious things and double meanings are the favourite subjects of my art. I find my inspiration in difficult, weird subjects like the sideshow performers, secret life of circus or theatre.. unusual psychological syndromes... I like to imagine life of other people....

My current subject is called "Vanishing Sideshow". It's a tribute to this unusual, amazing form of art that is slowly no more. This collection features illustrations, dolls, paper curiosities, handmade diaries & mobiles.
I also encourage you to be creative. Visit my blog and find out how to make your own paper jewelry!

Brienna Pruce "Brienna"

My name is Brienna (easy to remember if you think of "brie" like the cheese, though ironically I'm lactose intolerant). I'm a surreal painter. I come from rural Virginia, but I live in Cambridge, England now with my husband. I paint the human condition told through symbols.
My paintings can be construed as my subconscious "junk drawer" made visible. I pull from the deep recesses of the mind, where emotions are heightened and raw. It is here that I find an old conversation with a friend, an embarrassing mistake, a complex relationship, or a moment of pure happiness that I can channel into a painted narrative of human experiences. I use our animal and plant counterparts in our place to examine who we are and what it means to be alive more intimately.

Amalia K- Illustative Art Memoirs

Hello, my name is Amalia K and I'm an Indonesian born illustrator. I have worked in the art field for the past 12 years, but I think the passion for it started very early in childhood. I mainly illustrate books, magazines and items for various promotional campaigns. My art is inspired by a diverse range of things, but I find dreams and human nature as my very best source. After starting a blog in 2009, I found a new kind of passion to connect with so many wonderful individuals around the world and share my art with them.

 You can follow my art journal on my blog, Translucent Blue, and see the fruits of my virtual wanderings on my other blog, Art Memoirs. If you're interested to adopt and give my art a new home, please visit my shop on Etsy.

Jason Oliva

Jason Oliva was born in Union, New Jersey in 1970. His childhood and teenage years were mainly spent reading comic books, being astonished by Star Wars and motoring around the waters of New Jersey and New York on his father’s boat. Skateboarding also featured heavily – the influence of both the people and places that were a part of that time continuing on today.

From 1989-1992 Jason studied finance at The George Washington University, became a comic book dealer and worked at several music venues, one of which was Constitution Hall where he had a strange encounter with Bob Dylan. In 1992, at the ripe old age of 21, Jason left Washington, D.C. for New York City where he began trading options on the floor of the American Stock Exchange, continuing to do so until early 2002.

 Jason had been drawing and painting since childhood and never really stopped. In 2000, while still at the Exchange and having built-up a body of artwork, he had his first art show at John Allan’s Men’s Club in downtown Manhattan. The show sold out
… and so Jason’s art career officially began. Since 2002 he has had further shows at John Allan’s Downtown, Midtown, Saks Fifth Avenue and CBGB’s 313-art gallery.

In 2007 Jason swapped his New York studio for a studio in Norfolk, England, where he lived  until October 2009.
 He has since swapped studios again and is now living in the south of France until further notice.
Collections of works on canvas painted while living in England and France between 2007-2010 are now on permanent display at New York Vintners (21 Warren St. NYC) where Jason maintains his permanent NYC studio. Shows are currently being planned for 2011 in NYC.

If you would like to purchase or commission a painting, or discuss any of Jason’s work please feel free to contact him.

Nikos Zarras "the spiritual world in us"

I'm Nikos Zarras and I'm by heart a self-taught painter and sculptor. I grew up in Thessaloniki, Greece but I'm currently living in Zambia, Africa.The spiritual world is the pure essence of the body of my work and the 'natural environment' of my cosmo theory. I'm trying to depict the world in it's purest form.

Freya Jobbins

Freya Jobbins, a Sydney based sculptor, printmaker, environmental artist and mosaic designer creates 'morphies'; they are whimsical and sometimes bizarre heads and torsos. Her work transcends the borders between everyday life and art, revealing the child within. She is reusing everything that is discarded or recycled, whether it’s unwanted kids’ toys, ceramic dishes, wood, or re-cycled paper.
Her inspiration comes by colour and the strength of purest Black, and by artists such as Lucy Culitan, Marco Luccio, Cleo Mussi, Cressida Campbell, Friederich Hunderwasser, Kathe Kolwitz and of course Guiseppe Archimboldo.

Brainiac the art and life of Matte Stephens

I'm looking for inspiration for my new Spring hats and jewellery and I found  Matte Stephens, who makes amazing art and lives in a house with lots of cool modern furniture. He's influenced from Alexander Girard, the George Nelson office of the 40’s and 50’s, Herman Miller, Charles and Ray Eames, Irving Harper, Ben Shahn, living in the Suburbs, their pets, his wife Vivienne and things from everyday life. He's stating that
"I really love to paint. I think if you never give up on something it will work for you in the end because you learn so much in the process of getting to where you’re going." Keep painting as we really love your work
