Four Distinct Artists, Four Distinct Styles
Bill Gallagher
Clean, Tailored, Classic
Local artist Bill Gallagher cuts and sets his own stones in gold or silver. Exposed to the art of silversmithing from an early age, Bill makes sophisticated pieces that are finished to a gleaming polish. By hand-selecting and cutting his own gemstones, Bill is able to produce endless possibilities of pattern and color.

Michelene Berkey
Whimsical, Sophisticated
Michelene Berkey has a degree in Metalsmithing and Jewelry from California State Long Beach. Her creativity in silver is endless. She combines semi-precious stones with patinaed metals to produce gorgeous textural designs. Pearls abound in beautiful colors and shapes to delight the wearer. Michelene will be travelling from Colorado to share her talent with us.
Birgitt Hellemann
Fun, Funky, Flashy
Originally from Hamburg, Germany, Birgitt Hellemann will be displaying her candy-colored necklaces, bracelets and earrings. She creates her designs by fusing layers of glass in a kiln that reaches temperatures of 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. Some of Birgitt's jewelry is made with dichroic glass, which is coated in layers of metal-oxides that shimmer and change when heated. Hand cut and assembled by Birgitt, these jewels are hard to put down!
Amy Kekst
Elegant, Timeless, Fashion-Forward
A resident of Ohio, Amy Kekst has been creating for over 30 years. She works with her sister Audrey to make beautiful adornments from gold, silver and semi-precious stones. Her line of jewelry changes from season to season so that it is always up-to-date with current fashions and colors. From items that can be worn alone to items that can be worn as well-coordinated sets, Amy's jewels are art forms in themselves.
