The Riverviews Artists’ Co-Op Gallery represents many of the artists who are tenants of the facility. The original art ranges from realistic to abstract, the media from oils and acrylics to photography, needlework, encaustic, etchings and serigraphs. The gallery serves as a catalog of available styles and methods and points the way to more extensive offerings in the individual studios.

Every two months a new and different show is mounted.  A member artist is featured on the front wall.

The hours of operation are:
Wed – Friday, noon – 3pm
Sat & Sun, 1 – 4pm

The gallery is staffed by the artists who comprise the Co-op. The staff person on duty will be happy to discuss the artwork on display with you.

Jewelry making has always held a fascination for me.  I had a “table” at a number of early Greenwich Village Art Shows when I was a teenager, selling enameled copper jewelry.  More recently, in 2006 I learned how to make flamework (or lampwork) beads.  The magic of melting glass in a flame and creating a bead with that molten mass was intense and I haven’t stopped since.

I also have a passion for weaving and learned to pin-weave beautiful neckpieces, always finding a way to add colorful and/or silver beads to the pieces.  Most recently I discovered another kind of weaving called ply split braiding.  More and more this has become my big challenge not only to learn the various techniques, but put those skills into the creation of even more unusual jewelry.  I have been living and working at Riverviews since January, 2008.
