Artist Recognition

Our Artist of the Month for Aprll is Jeweler Nancy VanTassell.   After experimenting with several different mediums, Nancy decided to focus on her love for jewelry making and her obsession with wire weaving, which is an age-old technique of intertwining different gauges of wire to create a design.  Her pieces often incorporate precious metals and faceted and semi-precious stones.  Along with creating her art, Nancy spends much of her time teaching jewelry skills in private and group settings.
