Celebrating Our Artists 1 Week of Art

Meet Marinela Roe Farris, a ,jewelry designer and silversmith.  The fourth off four "featured artists"  displaying on October 13th from 5: to 7:30pm at our Off Track Gallery in Encinitas.

Marinela  lives in Leucadia with her husband and two boys. She was born in Greece and raised in Southern California with an education in Fine Arts, Psychology, Early Childhood Education, and Neurobiology. She has had a lifelong passion for creating 3-dimensional art. 

Marinela began silversmithing in the Fall of 2009 under the guidance of Deanna Jacobsen at the Art Academy of San Diego. Marinela uses hammers, saws, and torches to form and forge sterling silver sheet and wire into wearable works of art. She is greatly influenced by her Greek heritage; the Greek mati (eye charm), believed to protect the wearer from the “evil eye,” is a repeated theme in her work. The rustic textures and finishes she uses are reminiscent of ancient Greek adornments and primitive hand-made jewelry. 

Marinela loves silversmithing and “creating something from nothing.” She enjoys working with her customers to make unique designs and personalized gifts. Marinela is confident in the quality of work she produces and guarantees her workmanship by offering free repairs.

A sampling of Marinela’s silver work can be viewed on Facebook at Marinela Designs, or it can be requested via e-mail. Please contact her at Marinela@cox.net or 760-214-5153. 

She shares with us her video of creating:

Celebrating Our Aritsts - 3 Weeks of Art

Meet  Dolores Renner, jewelry designer.  The second of four "featured artists"  displaying on October 13th from 5: to 7:30pm at our Off Track Gallery in Encinitas.

Dolores started beading about eight years ago while caring for her aging mother over a period of six years. Beading became a form of meditation during an extremely stressful time of life. Since then, it has become a creative outlet in day-to-day life. The sparkle and color in Dolores' intricate beaded designs are from Swarovski crystals and pearls, which are of very high quality for color, clarity and shape. 

Through much trial and error, Dolores evolved from simply putting beads on a string, into weaving imaginative, complex and sometimes kaleidoscopic designs. She enjoys working with the never-ending combinations of color, texture and shape.
