A NOTE ABOUT MY DESIGNS:
It can be difficult at times to categorize my work, so I came up with names for the themes I most often recognize in my pieces:
**Affaire de Coeur**
Whether simple or sophisticated, jewelry pieces in the Affaire de Coeur line are beautiful in their symmetry, featuring nostalgic glimpses into the heart of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. These romantic and vintage-looking pieces call to our feminine spirits.
**Caravanserai**
Imagine an exotic desert inn, tassel-draped camels, exquisitely caparisoned Arabian horses, silk, spices, jewel tones. 1001 Arabian Nights, a Marakesh Bazaar, and belly dancers whose sinuous rhythms are underscored by the beat of the drum. This is the Caravanserai line.
**Eire**
Emerald hills and high crosses, The Book of Kells, Celtic harps, myths about the fey folk, misty moors and foggy forests, and labyrinthine knots that symbolize eternity with no beginning and no end. This is Eire.
**Quest** Travel to a mythical past, to the world of King Arthur and the quest for the Holy Grail, a world of dragons, castles, and all things medieval, magical, and mysterious.
**Sherwood Forest**
The legend of Robin Hood and Maid Marian inspires images of a primeval forest with trees draped in ivy vines and ferns growing amidst tree roots. Sherwood Forest is "natural medieval," exemplified in art history by the Art Nouveau movement with its curving lines of vines, leaves, and images of women with flowing hair.
**Southwest Fusion**
Turquoise and silver, *Anasazi pottery shards, adobe walls and blue doors, earthy panoramas, vast blue skies, and tree-dotted mesas. Southwest Fusion features a touch of the traditional blended with my own unique vision of what it's like to live in the Land of Enchantment and the greater Southwest. *All pottery shards used in Kell's Creations
**Tempest**
Tempest is inspired by the fantastical Shakespearean play in which the sorcerer Prospero and his daughter Miranda were set adrift and shipwrecked on a remote island inhabited by magical beings. Starfish in tidal pools, beach glass, sea shells, dolphins and sea horses, even a mermaid or two, the pieces in "Tempest" are inspired by Miranda's many discoveries during her barefoot strolls on the beach.
**Life in the Spirit**
The Kell's Creations Life in the Spirit pieces are inspired by the message of redemption and grace through Jesus Christ, using symbols such as crosses, doves, and fish--often better known as the ichthus--that are dear to the hearts of Christians.
**Fae Finery(TM) Jewelry**
This collection features jewelry with images of my fantasy artwork: fairies, dragons, mermaids, and other things "fae."
**Fae Finery(TM) Greetings**
This product line features handcrafted greeting cards with images of my fantasy art, along with a matching pair of earrings. Card and gift all in one!
