Meet Mary Helen Robert...
A native of Chattanooga, Mary Helen designs and created one-of-a kind wearable art that is founded on organic and sculptural designs. She's inspired by her close connection to nature, as well as machinery and the many forms of ancient and modern metalwork she has seen during extensive travels abroad. Mary Helen uses varied techniques and materials including traditional metalsmithing with sterling silver, fine silver, nickle, copper, brass, aluminum; cold and hot patinas; etching in copper, nickle and brass. A graduate of Middle Tennessee State University with a degree in Anthropology/Psychology, Mary Helen subsequently studied metalsmithing and jewelry fabrication at The University of Texas at Austin and at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC.

Meet Ange Roth...
"My work most identifies with expressionism. With the use of formal elements of art, I attempt to convey a subjective emotional response rather an an objective reality with objects and events around me. During the process of painting I respond to my spontaneous self-expression through the intensity of color with an effort to bridge the universal and personal symbology of objects." Ange is primarily working in oils, but will always have an affinity for pastels. She graduated from Georgia Southern University with a Bachelor in Fine Arts. While in college she won Best-of-Show in a Juried Student Show and received two Betty Foy Sanders Art Scholarships
