I met Sharon Sinclair on Facebook and she founded America Creates in 2005 along with her husband, Larry Hitchcock. America Creates reflects the diversity of the artists, artisans, co-ops, guilds, galleries, events, art schools and museums represented on their site. As such, they serve many purposes to many people:
Sharon introduced me to the art of JENNIFER GIERKA, a felting artist that mixes felting with other alternate materials. Jennifer’s jewelry has always reflected an interest in simple shapes and organic forms through materials. As you can see her art is unique and wonderful.
Jennifer grew up in Albany, NY and studied fine arts at Pratt Munson Williams Proctor in Utica, NY. From there she went on to earn a BFA in jewelry and metalsmithing from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2008. She now lives and works out of her studio in Brooklyn, NY
Hi!
This is wonderful, thank you so much. I’m very excited about the interest in my work. There will be more to come, hopefully sooner than later!
WOW! I went to Jen’s site and her design are so lovely!
