Wendy Jo New

New produces fine contemporary jewelry and other metal designs primarily in the precious metals of gold, silver, palladium, and platinum. These are often further defined with the addition of texturing, gemstones and other unique lapidary, or resin inlay.

Her work has been described as “Clean. Crisp. Geometric. Architectural. Subtle elegance.” She finds designing and fabricating engagement and wedding bands and other jewelry, often with people’s own stones, particularly meaningful.

Jui-Lan ‘Juily’ Su

Su’s love of gardening, museum-going and blind contour drawing are the bases for many of her paintings: paintings on flowers and gardens were inspired by her own garden.

Su’s recent mixed media “The hanging garden” was inspired by Suzanne Jackson’s “In Nature’s Way” at the Whitney Biennial 2024.

Art in August events are free to the public and refreshments are served; come to look or to buy!
