Featured show April 11th, and the Shorewood show in September. Visit her website at metalribbonart.com.

Vicki Ridgway studied at the Kentucky School of Craft in Hindman, KY, under Master Goldsmith Douglas Harling. She considers herself a metal-smith, and focuses on jewelry. Usually her medium is silver, however she also use brass and copper. She uses enamel, gems and natural stones to add color to her pieces. Vicki’s subject matter is anything in nature that inspires her to create. Her jewelry mainly represents the natural world around. She became an artist when she was living in the mountains of Kentucky with nature all around her and much soul-searching about the direction she wanted her life to go. That led her to the Kentucky School of Craft. There she found her true calling as a metal-smith and jewelry designer. She discovered her creative side and how being a metal-smith fit within the path she wanted her life to take. One fact she would like to share about herself is that each piece she designs and makes is unique. She also puts a little of herself and positive energy into each creation.

Kim Rahal is a self-taught artist who works with paint and canvas. She works with oils, acrylics, pastels, and graphite pencils. She likes to experiment so she’s bound to come up with some other medium to play with. Her subject matter depends on how she feels; it could be an emotion, a beautiful place, or a portrait of a person. Kim has always been artist, even when she was two. Her mother was an artist and Kim was influenced by her. Inspiration comes from many places, people and sometimes experiences. She’s currently working on a series of pastels and a series of seascapes that have been inspired by the recent passing of her father since he was from California and the ocean reminds her of him. The shows that Kim has coming up is the lemon Street Gallery Featured artist show, The Bradford Church showing on April 18th, and Second Saturday of July and August at the Pollard Gallery. She is going to focus on what’s going on around her in the world and would like to paint what she sees and feels. Her website is www.myspace.com/prosephene.
