Seattle, WA (PRWEB) June 2, 2005 -- Rebecca DeVere, artist as entrepreneur launches new product lines. Appearance announced on HGTV.

Local artist, jeweler and Kirkland resident, Rebecca DeVere, has found that to support a fine art career you can use the same art skills to launch profitable businesses to support yourself. She has a successful garden art company with her husband, a jewelry business and with a partner, recently launched a linen firm called Jumble House, which offers pillows, quilts and other items.

Galleries representing her work include:
·All Fireworks Galleries
·Parkplace Books,
·Mosswood (both downtown Kirkland), Presence (Capitol Hill),
·Feugo,(Tacoma mall),Gallery One (Ellensburg),
·White Bird Gallery(Cannon Beach),
·Occasionally Ravenna Gardens and C,Est La Vie .

Rebeccas mosaic work will be featured on show#231 on the HGTV show, Crafters Coast to Coast." After approximately 8 hours of shooting, a 10 minute segment was edited to be shown. Crafters Coast to Coast, profiles three contemporary crafters per episode from an entirely different perspective. Rather than bring artisans into their studio to share their ideas for viewers to try at home, they visit their homes and studios-wherever they may be. The result is a show that goes beyond "how-to" as viewers see how these crafters' personalities, lives, and communities influence their work.

Rebecca DeVere has been a practicing artist for 30 years. Exhibitions from New York to San Francisco have featured her work. In recent years she has concentrated on wall hung mosaic paintings". Her work incorporates hand cut art glass and tiles made by adhering photographs to the backs of glass.

Rebeccas garden art features one of a kind urns, water bowls and garden turtles and is sold nationally.

According to Rebecca, I was always an artist, and my favorite thing since I can remember is selling my art. That has carried throughout my life and the development of my garden art company, jewelry and linen arts. My fine arts background is in the forefront of all my product lines; and I have invented a new product and way to make tiles for mirrors by using my collages, and fortunes from fortune cookies set behind glass. The same creativity that inspires my paintings also supports my production designs"
