Christmas Vendor: Monica Gewurz Give the gift of Art this Christmas I use mixed media for its capacity to reach beyond the visual, to more tactile and tangible processes. I curate combinations of materials and techniques to abstract reality, telling a story to elicit an intimate aesthetic and emotional response. To experience this fully, the viewer must enter the multiple layers, shades and textures of my work, and be seduced into a visual and visceral encounter a holistic ...meeting of minds between artist and viewer, inspiring self-discovery, empathy, meditation and mindfulness. The beauty, force and energy of water and its associated reflective light have always drawn me in as a scientist and as an artist. This connection I have with water and the amazing colors of dawn and dusk is what has inspired my newest collection of work. Complete portfolio of my paintings can be found on my website: www.mgdesigns.org. 20% for Lions Bay residents. Email: [email protected] Instagram: mgdesignsca Facebook: @monicagewurzart

Christmas Vendor: Mary Brown Give the gift of Art this Christmas Glassy Lady Lampwork Glass Beads Glass Artist - Mary Brown... Lampwork glass bead making is a very old art form and yet it is not very well recognized in North America. Glass beads are formed in a propane + oxygen torch from rods of coloured glass. It is a very exacting yet versatile art form. It can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour to make one bead. I have been working in this form for about 5 years and am well and truly addicted to it. I make all the beads myself and use them to create unique and beautiful jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets and hair combs. For some of the pieces, I also weave the chain using a technique called Viking knit. Due to the versatility of the glass, I can make custom beads in the perfect size, shape and colour that is desired. If you can imagine it, I may just be able to make it in glass http://www.lionsbayarts.ca/project/mary-brown/

Lions Bay Arts Christmas Vendor : Monica Gewurz Give the gift of Art this Christmas Life is too precious to wear boring jewelry... My handmade jewelry is a fusion of decorative and fine art. People like to wear my jewelry because it is unique, modern, simple, and chic complementing any fashion direction. It is "one of a kind sculptural wearable art ...that is timeless. My wearable art features unusual textures and is inspired by natural landforms and designs from ancient civilizations. Discerning clients enjoy my wearable art because they are wow pieces that stand out in a crowd but are not flashy. My jewelry is showcased year-round at Ukama Gallery, The Audain Museum gift shop, Marilyn’s Boutique in West Vancouver, and Giftworks Boutique in Edgemont Village. Complete portfolio of jewelry and my paintings can be found on my website: https://zurl.co/4KSU Email: [email protected] Instagram: mgdesignsca Facebook: Monica Gewurz - Artist
