If you love wearable and functional art, it’s time to explore the jewelry works of Adriana Walker. With her jewelry exhibited locally in Sedona, Arizona’s James Ratliff Gallery, Adriana Walker’s love of designing jewelry comes from utilizing semiprecious gems, pearls, silver and copper with her fused glass creations. Fusing glass into jewelry is something that has continually been an inspiration. Walker’s techniques are unusual, which makes them recognizable to art collectors. The composition of Walker’s work makes each piece a one of a kind. Walker has now become nationally recognized for her fused glass creations. Adriana Walker originally came to the United States from Argentina. At a young age, she moved to California and developed interests in the arts. Walker studied Wild Animal Training at a young age, and while she carried on her career, she also became an accomplished water color artist. Now, Walker’s jewelry and paintings both exhibit a unique combination of texture, color and composition that she says are inspired by the intricacies of nature and cultural themes. Walker said she is one “who is fascinated by the endless possibilities of combining organic, sinuous shapes with patterns which results in taking her work in unusual and unpredictable directions.” To see Adriana Walker’s artwork, visit the James Ratliff Gallery located in the Hillside at 671 Hwy 179, Suites A1 & A2, Sedona, Arizona. Within the Goldenstein Gallery (also in Sedona, Arizona), you will find more popular jewelry artists. Artist Dee Winklestern started her life in the arts as a commercial artist. The work gave Winklestern a foundation to become an artist who walks inside and outside the box. After moving to Sedona nearly 16 years ago, she states that her inspiration in life comes directly from her art. “It was not until moving to Sedona, Arizona that my boundaries collapsed and a new spectrum of artistic endeavors were built. Spiritual ideas and pathways into healing art and connectivity energies of gemstones were exciting.” Winklestern said. Dee loves to handpick the gemstones or crystals that she utilizes in her necklaces, earrings and wearable art. She also chooses the highest quality materials to integrate with the stones. Winklestern states that many of her designs come to her in her sleep, and when she wakes, she is inspired to create them.
