Mark makes beautiful wire wrapped dichroic pendants.  You can find Mark and his wife at art shows throughout the United States and every July, right here in Ann Arbor at the Ann Arbor Art Fair!  His work is beautiful and very affordable.   I have many pieces myself.

Admired Artist for December 2012

ARTIST – HELEN
GOTLIB

http://www.helengotlib.com/

Helen is an amazing artist from Ann Arbor. I have
known Helen since she was in the 6th grade. Her love of drawing has taken her
across the state, from east to west, north to south in our nation and around the
world! If she is not on the road or flying somewhere, you can find Helen at
numerous events including the Ann Arbor Art Fair every July or at her studio in
Ann Arbor. Her technique is as unique as she is. I have admired her since she
was that young middle schooler, but her work makes me smile and feel proud to
say that I know her. Check out Helen’s work, you may find something that will
be perfect for your home!
