They are hosting a special trunk show featuring my artwork on Saturday, November 30 from 12pm-6pm and I will be present to discuss my silver designs. If you cannot make it that day, the show will be on display through Saturday, December 7 during regular gallery hours.

Friday, December 6 from 5-7pm the exhibition will be part of the downtown Charleston artwalk for the month of December and we are thrilled to participate. I will be on site that night during those hours to share my work with the guests.

I will exhibit a wider variety of my silver functional home objects, original jewelry designs, and Christmas ornaments than what the gallery usually shows during this festive holiday shopping event. I hope to see you there!
