Introducing Two More of Our Talented Artists

We'd like to present two talented ladies who are among the 15 artisan participants in this year's show! A little bit of holiday fun and some whimsical jewelry will all be part of the offerings come September 12. Now, introducing....

Melissa Valeriote of Valeriote Design

Welcome to the Fantastical World of Holidays! Melissa Valeriote is the mastermind behind her  menagerie of merriment.

Creating one-of-a-kind pieces of art that pay homage to holiday mischief and lore is her year-round profession.  She believes that it is possible for the holiday spirit to extend throughout the year when you surround yourself with little bits of silliness that touch your heart!

You'll find these sweet whimsical characters among the many treasures Melissa will have available at the show.

To read more about her art, see her blog, theholidayqueen.blogspot.com, or simply send her an email.

Gina Gabriel of Eleven Morning

Gina Gabriel is a California artist living in the East Bay of San Francisco, California, where she says, "I make lots of little things in my little studio."

She is the owner of Tangerine, a sweet shop in Dublin, CA.  She studied sculpture at the California College of Art in San Francisco and is currently working on her second children's book.  Her inspiration comes from her family, her love of color and her wonderful artist friends.

 

Pictured is some of the steampunk jewelry Gina will have available at the show.
