OPEN STUDIO with local jewelry artist Elisabeth Michel-Meyrueix whose creativity shines in every jewel, mixing antique or vintage pieces with semi-precious stones and precious metals.
Elisabeth studied in Paris and started to design jewelry after moving to the United States. Designing jewelry allows her to combine her background of studies in art, history and geology with the creating process. When she travels around the world, she looks for beautiful antique or vintage brooches or pendants that will become the centerpieces of her necklaces. She sometimes keeps some of these incredible finds for years before finding the right stones to compliment them. For her, a necklace is like a painting, colors and texture have to flow and blend together. And like paintings all her necklaces and bracelets are signed with her unique tag. She has been designing jewelry and participating in artists Open Studios and fairs since 2003.
During the same week-end we will also exhibit local artist and painter Bernard Renot.
