North Carolina Artists Need our Help
Hurricane Helene has devastated the heart of our artist community in North Carolina. The artists living and working in the mountain area have lost everything...their tools, supplies, artwork and means for making a living.
Here are links to some of the disaster relief programs for artists.
Your support is greatly appreciated.

Della Marshall Artist Statement
With playfulness in mind, creating pieces that people can have fun wearing is what gives me joy in jewelry making.
I carefully select high quality semi-precious stones and beads to create beautiful necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. I like that I can combine different colors and bead sizes to create a variety of patterns and designs for women of all ages.
Much of my work is inspired by geometric shapes such as circles, squares, triangles, and ovals. I start with a color combination and a geometric shape – then decide how I want the beads to interact with each other. Pieces can take up to 15 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the design.
My background over the years has always included an artistic component and I love the process of creating using color and texture with an end result that is fun and unique. What a person chooses to wear is highly personal and I derive a lot of pleasure in being a part of that process. I want them to feel good when they wear my work.
