Carefree, AZ (PRWEB) February 27, 2014 -- Joan and Skip met in art school, in 1976, and have been working side by side creating one-of-a-kind pieces ever since. Their jewelry consists of 14K and 22K gold, diamonds, boulder opals, lapis, numerous colored semi-precious and exotic gems and pearls. The couple also creates unique art boxes, which feature their jewelry designs wrapped around and embellished on top – creating a sculpture in itself. Some boxes also feature hand- carved onyx, lapis, lazuli, sugilite and other carved stones. The techniques include casting, construction, fabrication and carving.

“As artists, we channel our experiences and interaction with our environment into our own iconography and jewelry. We try to express our fascination with light, energy and powerful form, by using nature’s finest elements to produce a collection of jewelry that sings with the same excitement we feel.”

In addition, this festival features more than 165 juried, world-class artists, displaying over 5,000 original pieces of artwork, in a variety of mediums. Wine tasting is also offered, with a vast array of wines to sample from around the world, while delicious food and delectable chocolates supply the final touches to the unparalleled ambience this festival holds. Live music is a mainstay at all Thunderbird Artists events as well, and this event features guitarist, Darren Skanson. He is an award-winning composer and is one of the most requested classical guitarists on the Beethoven Radio.
