Elaine Bell has worked with stained glass for 40 years. Along with her husband, Mike Susko, they created windows for houses and places of worship all over the country. Elaine’s painted work currently focuses on pure color. “The painting submitted was conceived as a way to concentrate on color in order to transition from my normal hyper realistic inclinations to a more visceral style of recording what I see.”

Diane Ross enjoys painting as a hobby. Her mother's love for painting rubbed off on her while growing up. Mom would equip her with some leftover paint and old brushes so they could paint side by side. Diane believes that it's important for people to find something they really get lost in, and for her it's painting. As soon as she picks up a paintbrush, time flies and the problems of the world are drowned out.
This is a copper on bronze pendant with a druzy on a copper chain with magnetic closure. This piece is entirely made with cold connections- rivets and prongs (with the help of a 20-ton hydraulic press to form the basic pendant shape). FYI – a druzy is a stone with tiny crystals that have formed on it. Some say that druzies strengthen the immune system and aid in circulation. Regardless, they are highly prized stones. Bobbi’s handmade silver, copper and gemstone jewelry is sold in two local stores – Xtra in Conshohocken and Xtra 101 in Ambler.
During quarantine I discovered my passion for art again. I used to be
full of anxiety when it came to sharing it, but when the world stopped
this year I found that what gave me anxiety now gave me peace. I live
with epilepsy and this has been so therapeutic for me. I have an Etsy
shop just look up Dana Pirolli Art. I hope you enjoy my piece.
