custom earrings for Mary Lou Zeek Gallery


{custom sterling silver Loretta Fontaine Jewelry Lucy earrings with Tropical Leaf and freshwater pearl}
I'm so happy to make a custom piece for a gallery. In this case it's a requested image that I don't normally use in this style earring. These custom earrings are headed out to Mary Lou Zeek Gallery in Salem, Oregon! (The earrings are reversible - hence the two sides shown!)

One of my FAVORITE galleries, Mary Lou Zeek Gallery is a Pacific Northwest haven for amazing art. Check out the exhibition that opened yesterday:

The Mary Lou Zeek Gallery will be featuring eleven adventurous photographers from all corners of the U.S. who traveled to Cuba under the guidance off renowned Salem-based photographer-teacher Steve Anchell. The result: an intriguing exhibit of Havana and environs through the collective lens of an intrepid band of Americans. They documented the lives of Cubanos today … their homes and families and life on the streets and countryside. It’s a portrait of a people in transition in a country changing every day. This merry band of photographers were fortunate to be part the Cuban scene as our Caribbean neighbor returns to the limelight.

Featured Photographers: Steve Anchell, Herb Bardavid, Mark Davies, Don Dunn, Rich Harcourt, Susie Morrill, Dorothy Mullinax, John Rudoff, Tim Trapp, Hank Weaver and Mary Lou Zeek.

The show, CUBA: Through The Lens  runs April 3-28, 2012 and the artist reception is TONIGHT, Wednesday April 4 from 5-7 pm.
