My Life as a Writer

Since my writing jobs frequently support my ability to create my art ( and who am I kidding - other luxuries like the electric bill and groceries), I 'll start linking some articles here. Check out the cover article about Tybee Island art in the July issue of "Coastal Antiques and Art"

It's a great local Savannah publication, so check out August and September as well!

What a Great Art Show!!!

Saturday's Art in the Yard in Midway, GA was wonderful beyond our expectations! The setting was a sunny day overlooking the marsh and the river with the bonus of fun art everywhere. There were peanuts boiling, chicken wings grilling and Pam made her fresh homemade bread. Colorful art hung inside the studio, in the bushes and on the dock. Lots of pictures will be available soon, but these will give you an idea of grand a day it was. If you had to miss the show, you'll see lots of the new papier mache work on my etsy shop at veryjeri.etsy.com

Blooming Bulbs & Pear Trees (In a very arty yard!)

Saturday is almost here! You'll know you're in the right place when you see a sign that reads "pear tree". Yep, it's loaded with little pears but is also full of Jeri's pear art! And what bulbs are blooming's blooming in Pam's yard? Brightly painted light bulbs. There's fun everywhere you look! You'll have lots of laughs looking at art, schmoozing with Pam and Jeri and enjoying goodies. Call Jeri 912-354-0144 or Pam 912-572-6964 for directions!

What's an Etsy???

For a gal who remembers using the "new" cool Bic pen in middle school, it's a long way from there to my online etsy gallery! Folks want to know "what" an etsy is.

In their own words...
Etsy is an online marketplace for buying & selling all things handmade. Their mission is to enable people to make a living making things, and to reconnect makers with buyers. Their vision is to build a new economy and present a better choice: Buy, Sell, and Live Handmade.

So go to veryjeri.etsy.com and enjoy!
