MJ Kinman: Gems & Joy Trunk Show

During my presentation, I’ll talk about the techniques to create and assemble the hundreds of pieces in each diamond, materials I use to create the wash of color and light across a gem’s surface, and the quilting techniques that enhance a gem’s facets. And, as so often happens with any artist’s decade-long journey, I’ll share what I’ve learned about the importance of choosing joy and saying “no” to fear as I made the leap from Corporate Life to the Creative Life.
