Artist/Month May

 The Art Market's "Artist of the Month" for May is jewelry artist Barb Quenneville.

Barb started her jewelry business after taking a class in 1983. Eventually she branched out to do a variety of shows and took a class in stringing. Her work includes pearls, gemstones, Millefiore Italian glass, and embellished Titanium designs. She uses no nickel in her ear wires or posts, so they are all hypoallergenic.

Titanium earrings - by Barb Quenneville ($23 to $27)
