Rita M. – Mossy Twig Jewelry
Jewelry Adventures in metal, stone, glass, silk, feathers, shells, plastic, glitter, …
Mossy Twig loves combining colour and texture to create beautiful, interesting things. Her latest obsession is costume jewelry, and she’s loving the freedom to throw anything pretty and sparkly into the design. As a child, Mossy Twig mourned at the thought that one day she would have to leave childhood behind and stop playing with her toys. Years later as an adult, she realized that the toys never went away, they merely changed form into tools, metal, stone, glass, and other jewelry making supplies. The Beaumont Studios is her hideaway where she can hide from her domineering kitty overlords, Pumpkin and Lilac, and simply play.
Heather Watts
Heather Watts weaves the detailed narratives in her paintings from threads of collective memory and mythology. Her work explores the bittersweet nature of life through the pageantry of anthropomorphic villains and anti-heroes, all rendered with an eye to what they reveal about the realities of our own world. Watts is self-taught in the arts, having learned to paint and create through a trial and error process of obsessive practice. Based out of Vancouver, Canada, she has been a full-time professional artist since 2003. Her paintings have been exhibited and sold in galleries from California to Florida as well as abroad. She is currently working on a new series of paintings to be shown in Los Angeles in April of 2011.

Brittany van Dyck
With a strong connection to all things nostalgic, Vancouver based artist Brittany van Dyck aims to capture this in tiny whimsical necklaces.
With found treasures in old love letters, great grandmas kerchiefs, discarded playbills from the 30’s and postage stamps from time past, Brittany presses the items between hand cut glass and preserves them for many years to come. A silver solder finish ensures durability while delicately framing the inner art.
Each necklace comes with its own story that is carried on by the wearer, with no two necklaces alike.
