New Kathy Bransfield Jewelry

Since we started carrying her work in March, Kathy Bransfield has become one of our most popular artists. Her hand-stamped necklaces with inspirational, funny, or poignant messages are extremely versatile. With over 20 options to choose from on Monsoon and Artfully Elegant, you're bound to find the one that speaks to you. I am the proud owner of the Compass necklace. (Are you sensing a theme? I have a ton of our jewelry!)

Each of Kathy's necklaces features 2 parts: a covering in a unique design that then lies on top of the hand-stamped sterling silver piece. The coverings are either sterling silver with a patina or gold-plated solid bronze. Whichever look you decide on, it's sure to draw many compliments. Check out 2 more examples below. The one on the left is the Gandhi Ivy necklace, a new addition to our collection. On the right is the Love Tree, one of our most popular necklaces.

Handbags!

One of the great things about Artfully Elegant is that it allows us to expand into accessories. If you're shopping for jewelry, then you're also going to want to see some cute handbags. Pictured below are 2 options from Tivi. We first started carrying Tivi as a jewelry designer. Their wood veneer jewelry with silkscreening is super lightweight and wearable. I have these earrings and wear them often.

Their clutches are what first attracted us to them and we're happy to be carrying them now. Made of wood veneer, the clutches have an elegant shape that makes them perfect for a night out. They're able to be dressed up or dressed down, so they're very versatile. Each bag has super-soft hand-sewn leather in a complimentary color. Whether you're choosing a silk-screened version or a plain version, you're bound to get a ton of compliments on these funky clutches!!

New Todd Reed Jewelry!

We have a huge selection of Todd Reed jewelry available currently on Artfully Elegant. With more options than we even have in the gallery, we're bound to have the piece you're searching for. We have a great relationship with everyone over at Todd Reed, so if there's a ring or necklace we don't carry, we'd be happy to get it for you. If you're interested in commissioning a special piece, we can do that too! Check out the last photo below to see a recently commissioned engagement ring. It's gorgeous!

Ring 703 has always been a personal favorite of mine. My favorite rings and jewelry from Todd Reed are the ones that combine the different types of diamonds that Todd uses: raw cubes, rose cuts, colored, etc. Ring 703 features a gorgeous yellow center stone surrounded by white brilliant cuts. The band features Todd's signature raw cubes. When I get my Todd Reed ring someday, it will definitely need to have raw cubes in it. Even though Todd has branched out beyond the raw cube, he never forgets it - it still pops up in the majority of his designs.

Looking for a great pair of earrings from Todd Reed? Try Earrings 631. These delicate hoops hang from 18k yellow gold french wire and have a combination of raw and rosecut diamonds. The hoop itself is sterling silver that has been darkened with patina. If wires aren't your thing, these can also be made with a post. That's one of the best things about Todd's work - changes can be made to your specification. Want the earrings with a post? Done. Want the ring in palladium? Done. Want a different stone? Done. Where else can you find jewelry so versatile?

Here's a great example of custom work created by Todd and his team. Our client came to us with a request - he wanted a non-traditional engagement ring for his girlfriend, soon to be his fiance. Starting with the design for ring 660, he arrived at the ring pictured below. His only specifications were to remove the outer ring of stones and have it entirely in palladium. I think the final product is amazing and the most unique engagement ring I've seen in quite awhile! That's a 10+ carat raw diamond set in palladium. He proposed on a glacier in Montana, so it's the perfect natural ring for such a natural setting.

We're Back!

After a brief hiatus, the Monsoon blog is back and better than ever! We've had a busy summer here at the gallery - we've launched a new website, lined up shows through December, and added a member to our gallery team, but more on that later.

We have a full lineup of shows planned for the fall, starting with Marty Desilets and his show "A Mirror With Memory" opening on September 4th. His digitally manipulated photographs transform everyday environments into surreal scenes. The skies in his photographs can be ethereal wisps of clouds or brooding storms on the horizon. Regardless of the subject, Marty’s work invites you in to his unique world.

October brings us local metal artist Dan Minnich. As an apprentice to world renowned artist Steve Tobin, Dan is learning from the best. He has his own unique style of painting landscapes - he paints with hot welded metal. Dan tries to utilize his steel skills in every creation by making every tree, and every part of the scene, out of steel, bronze, and stainless steel. Visit the gallery to see Dan’s view of nature in metal. His show opens October 2nd.

For November and December, we are once again partnering with the Pennsylvania Society of Goldsmiths for a special 2 month jewelry show. With jewelry artists from Pennsylvania and beyond, PSG’s artisans are some of the most talented in their field. With an array of jewelry in various mediums and price ranges, All That Glitters arrives just in time for the holidays. Artist receptions are on November 6th and December 4th, so be sure to stop by and meet the many talented jewelry artists who make the show possible.

Most of our summer here at the gallery has been devoted to launching our new website, Artfully Elegant. Artfully Elegant is a new, easier way to shop for jewelry and gifts for the home. It's more user-friendly than our Monsoon site - you can sort by price, artist, material, create a wish list to keep track of your favorite items, and lots more. Take a look over there and explore! All of us here at Monsoon have spent countless hours perfecting the site and we are all very proud of it. We hope you feel the same!

Last, but certainly not least, we are pleased to introduce the newest member of the Monsoon team, Wilco. Wilco is Rori's dog - he's part cattle dog, border collie, and husky. He's the friendliest dog you'll ever meet, so if you stop by the gallery sometime from Monday to Friday, you should be able to meet him! Check him out below!!

New Artist - Alex Sepkus

Monsoon is very pleased to announce the addition of Alex Sepkus jewelry to our fine, handmade jewelry collection. A native of Vilnius, Lithuania, Alex received his graduate degree in industrial design from the Lithuanian Academy of Arts. His studies included interiors, glass making sculpture, etchings and graphics, but his graduate study was in jewelry design. While Alex's jewelry is beautiful to the naked eye, it becomes even more intricate when viewed under a magnifying glass. Each section of his jewelry has its own texture and pattern. With a strong respect for precision and balance, Alex developed a great passion for the intricacies of his craft, creating jewelry unlike any other.

Alex's organic shapes feature diamonds along with many semi-precious stones. We have a great selection of rings coming, along with a pair of earrings and 2 gorgeous pendants. Check out a sneak peek below of 2 great rings soon to be a part of Monsoon's collection. Look for the Sepkus line to debut in mid June!

April First Friday Reminder!

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow is First Friday on Bethlehem's Southside! While we don't have a dedicated new show, we do have new oils from Peter Krobath, new work from Kate Birch, new jewelry from Todd Reed, and new additions to our jewelry collection from Belle Brooke, Kathy Bransfield, Martha Sullivan and The Barber's Daughter (Gisele Theriault). Visit the artist's pages to see their new work or stop by the gallery tomorrow night to see everything in person. We hope to see you there!

Here's a sneak peek of new Todd Reed rings and a Belle Brooke necklace.

New Work from Peter Krobath

Peter Krobath has long been a favorite of all of us here at Monsoon, as well as visitors to the gallery. His photorealist works in oil and watercolor are highly detailed studies of landscape, florals, and everyday life. Peter stopped by the gallery on Tuesday and brought us 11 new oils. My favorites are Sunflowers and Sugar Maple Afternoon II, pictured below. Peter paints with a photographer's eye. His closeup studies of morning glories all contain an obvious understanding of depth of field, as different planes of the painting are in varying degrees of focus. Peter paints his landscapes from places that are familiar to him, like his home in the Hudson Valley to North Carolina to Lake Champlain in Vermont. Make sure you check out all of Peter's new work online or in person this Friday during Southside's First Friday celebration. We're open late until 10 so stop by and check out all of our new work!

New jewelry keeps rolling in

With the massive amount of new jewelry we've purchased recently, a week like this was to be expected. New work from Veto and Ananda Khalsa arrived on Friday just in time to go out for that night's First Friday opening (more on that later). Saturday brought new work from Vinosus. One of two recent orders from Todd Reed arrived on Tuesday and then new work from Tivi came today! It has been nothing but jewelry for Rori - from taking photos of all the work, pricing information, and then rearranging the cases to fit everything - getting everything set up can be a bit of process. Check out some of the highlights below, but also take a peek at the portfolio pages to see all of their new work!

Our first purchase from Veto included this ring, but it was promptly snatched up by Ranjeet's lovely wife, Neha. With our second order, we ordered another one, as well as some of their other designs in stainless steel and pearls for women. Most of our current Veto rings are aimed at men, but with this order we decided to branch out to their women's line as well. The ring pictured at left is as striking in person as it is in the picture.


Since I was not at the Philly show in February, the first time I saw Ananda's work in person was on Friday when it arrived at the gallery. Let me tell you that is unbelievably beautiful. Each piece has its own unique, handpainted image. Right now, my personal favorite is the Sparrow Mandala Necklace, but I'm also seriously eyeing up the Autumn Maple Necklace pictured at left. Ananda's paintings are delicate images that serve as the perfect compliment to her delicate, handmade jewelry.


Vinosus' jewelry never dissappoints and this order was no different. The great thing about all of Vinosus' jewelry is it's lightweight, completely wearable, and super affordable. I think my favorite new piece are the Origami Earrings. I never usually find myself drawn towards the mixed metal look - I tend to prefer either all silver or all gold, not both - but these earrings are so delicate and move nicely. The combination of gold and silver is a nice touch to the innovative design of these earrings. Check out the Kite earrings at right for Vinosus' take on something in all silver.

Everytime something arrives from Boulder from Todd Reed I get a little excited. There's something about having thousands of dollars worth of diamonds on your hand that would get any girl excited. I will admit to sporting this ring for a good portion of my time at the gallery yesterday before it went into the case with the rest of them. I'm sure if you stop by on a Saturday you'll find me admiring it and taking out for a while, just to test it out ;). In all seriousness, the ring is absolutely gorgeous. With almost 6 total carats worth of rose-cut and raw diamond cubes, this ring would make anyone feel like a million bucks. Todd has said that this is one of their most popular styles and it's easy to see why. It is different from every angle, making it one of their most versatile designs. Many of the rings from this order can be combined with other styles to create the perfect stacking combination. Check out the example above and Todd's portfolio page to see more options we've created, plus all the new styles.

The guys from Tivi are reverting back to their original design concept: furniture, design, and interiors. They're slowly phasing out their jewelry, but before that happens we wanted to snatch a bunch of it up. Their jewelry is made from sustainable wood, like ebony and walnut, and some designs incorporate stainless steel. Their necklaces and earrings are great for women, but they also have some great cufflinks and rings for men (like the one at right). Make sure to get some before it's all gone!

With still more jewelry on the way from Kathy Bransfield, Martha Sullivan, the Barber's Daughter, Angela Duffin, Belle Brooke, and the engagement style rings from Todd Reed, look for another post like this sometime soon!

First Friday Reminder

Just a quick reminder that this Friday (March 6th) is First Friday and the opening our latest show, Contrasts, featuring the work of two local photographers, Olaf Starorypinski and Scott Nichol. It's been almost a year and a half since our last photography show, so everyone at the gallery is very excited about it. Rori and I were busy hanging the main gallery on Friday and Saturday, with the show to go up sometime on Thursday, if things go according to plan. With 2 months of sales at the gallery, it will be a big change to see the gallery in its normal state!

Make sure you stop by on Friday night from 7-10pm. Both artists will be on hand to talk with visitors, so don't be shy. So stop by, say hello, and check out all the new additions to Monsoon's collections!

Check out another sneak peek of Olaf (left) and Scott's (right) work below.

More new jewelry!

We have been on a jewelry kick at the gallery lately. We can't help it! It's all so unique and we really feel like it's the perfect addition to our traditional wall art and sculpture in the gallery. Besides, who doesn't love jewelry?

One of our newest jewelry designers is Veto. Based out of Luzern, Switzerland, the jewelry is all stainless steel with diamond, pearl, and semi-precious stone accents. Much of the jewelry has an architectural feel to it, like the ring at left, with it's delicate swoop and floating pearl. Veto has both men's and women's designs, with most of its rings ranging from $80 to $250. We've placed another order, so look for many new rings in the coming weeks.


Vinosus has long been a favorite of ours and we've sold a good bit of it recently, so it was time for another order. Artists Brit-Simone Sutter and Marty Kneeland work together in their Tacoma, Washington studio to create fine jewelry in sterling silver, gold, pearls, and semi-precious stones. Much of their jewelry combines silver and gold, which is always has an elegant, classy feel to it. We've also picked up some newer work in their classic, brushed sterling silver line. Look for the Nautilus earrings, at right, to join our collection of new Vinosus jewelry in the next 1 to 2 weeks.


We've also placed another order with perennial Monsoon favorite Todd Reed. We've added on to our recent order at the Philly show, this time adding 3 rings that could be used as unique engagement rings. This is new territory for Monsoon. While we've always had work with traditional, cut diamonds, along with Todd's raw diamonds, we've never had anything that screams engagement ring like these new ones from Todd Reed. My personal favorite is pictured below. With a band in 18K yellow gold, patinated silver, plus almost 2 carats of rose-cut diamonds, this ring screams unique elegance. It's the perfect ring for the special woman in your life, or just a nice treat for yourself. The other 2 rings feature more rose-cut diamonds in a deep champagne color and another in a dark red. Todd's designs continue to amaze all of us here and I'm sure any visitor to our gallery or online shop. Look for them by the end of March.

New Jewelry Artists

The Philadelphia Buyer's Market of American Craft turned out to more than just a chance to catch up with our favorite jewelry artists. We also gathered tons of information and we're excited to introduce 3 new jewelry artists to our collection.

First up is Ananda Khalsa. All of Ananda's jewelry features a unique, original painting under glass, in either sterling silver or 22K gold. With images like maple trees in spring and autumn, violets, dragonflies, ravens, and bluebirds, Ananda's delicate jewelry is perfect for the art lover in all of us. Since each piece is unique, it truly is your own wearable work of art. Check out the Raven Petal Necklace at left for a sneak peek. Look for Ananda's jewelry in the gallery and in our online shop sometime mid-March.


We're also very excited for new work by Belle Brooke. Handmade in Los Angeles, Belle's work features sterling silver, gold, precious and semi-precious stones in creative settings. Belle uses small tubes that are then soldered in singular batches to create the patterned circles in each piece of her work. With simple pendants, plus more intricate work, like the lariat at right, make Belle Brooke's designs unlike any other. Look for Belle's work at the gallery soon. With a variety of styles and stones, there is definitely something for everyone.

Last but not least is Maine-based jewelry artist Martha Sullivan. Her jewelry incorporates sterling silver, gold, precious stones, and pearls and each piece is stamped with one of her signature Martha Sullivan patterns. With pattern names like joy, sticks and stones, leaf, oval, spiral, and oval oval, the pattern on the jewelry adds a little something extra to her designs. Her simple, elegant designs are perfect for everyday, but can easily be dressed up for a night out. Check out the two rings below - they're both a part of our order and should be in the gallery by the end of March.

New Artist - Mike Bell

We have a new artist in the gallery, painter Mike Bell. Hailing from the Northumberland area of England, Mike was a teacher for 30 years, but has since fully devoted himself to painting. He's very intrigued by the contrast in nature of order and chaos. His paintings are highly textured studies of color, shape, and light. They will be hanging for First Friday on March 6th, so make sure you check them out when you stop by to see the opening of Olaf Starorypinski and Scott Nichol's show Contrasts.

Here are Mike's feelings about his work, in his own words: "I am inspired by 30 years living and working on the Northumberland coast and now in the wilds of Redesdale, near Scottish Borders. I’m fascinated by patterns of sand on the beach, piles of seaweed/driftwood order and chaos together. Images I create use a wide materials, sand, soil coal dust, driftwood are often embedded in the paint surface. I want paintings to be as natural as possible. I rarely use a brush, but rather fingers, knife, trowel, sand, spray paints plus lots of builder’s materials to create impasto surfaces. I experiment with holographic foils in paint to simulate wonderful light in Northumberland. Moving to Redesdale, I have been inspired and become aware of the interaction of man and nature, in the Otterburn Ranges military roads, bunkers and old tanks contrast with crags, quarries, moorland and forest to create a wonderful tapestry at different times of year. Rock strata, strange cloud formations, moody sunsets, reflections in rivers and lakes have me rushing for a sketchbook or camera. “The Land of Far Horizons” Northumberland has light which enhances the tactile quality of the landscape no matter what the season. I hope my work stimulates a wide range of perceptions and feelings for this “land of far horizons.” Other influences/artists I admire include Turner, John Blockley, Andy Goldsworthy, Cezanne, Tapies and many more."

Philadelphia Buyer's Market

On Thursday, Rori and Ranjeet headed to Philly for the Philadelphia Buyer's Market show. One of our favorite shows, it has tons of fine, handmade jewelry and exquisite blown glass. Despite leaving Philly with 2 parking tickets, the day was very successful. They were able to catch up with Todd and Andrea at Todd Reed. His raw diamonds set in sterling and 18K & 24K gold are unique and gorgeous. We've gotten a lot of new jewelry in from them lately, plus we ordered some more at the show, so check back soon for the new work!

Rori was able to stop and say hi to Elijah at Figs & Ginger. All of their nature-inspired jewelry is eco-friendly and contains at lease 50% recycled materials. We just got a lot of new jewelry in from them as well. I already had the Elliot Ring and now I'm the proud owner of the Circle Mountain Necklace too!

Ranjeet and Rori also made time to stop by and say hello to everyone at Vinosus, Sue Rosengard, and Angela Duffin. Look for new work by Angela Duffin in the next few weeks.

They were also able to pick up a brand new jewelry artist for the gallery, Kathy Bransfield. Kathy's jewelry features a combination of gold and silver. Most pieces have 2 parts: a covering that flips open to reveal a hand-stamped inspirational message or quote. Look for Kathy's work at the gallery soon. We'll announce its arrival here on the blog first!

Greatest Hits, Vol. 1

Welcome to the first volume of Monsoon's Greatest Hits. Greatest Hits is a biweekly spotlight on some of our favorite shows from the past. First up - crayon sculptor extraordinaire Herb Williams show "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants."

In July and August 2008, Monsoon Gallery was filled with the bright color and unmistakable smell that is the art of Herb Williams.

That smell is wax, for Williams' media is the crayon. The Nashville-based artist is one of the few individuals in the world who has an account with Crayola; he uses thousands and thousands of crayons to create each of his unique sculptures. Using an epoxy to connect the crayons and various cutting devices to add three-dimensionality, Williams has created national buzz for his whimsical and striking pieces.

Since giving up traditional materials, Williams has made crayon sculptures of animals, household items, and famous faces. A portrait of a Marilyn Monroe centerfold used a quarter of a million crayons (most of them Peach).

The Monsoon show included many flowers – a perfect subject choice due to the intense saturation of color the crayons give Williams – as well as several homages to great artists throughout history. Williams' art can be enjoyed by all, but audiences with knowledge of art history will especially enjoy seeing his take on the work of artists such as Jim Dine, Damien Hirst, Paul Cezanne, and Roy Lichtenstein. The pieces are bright and colorful, at once immediately enjoyable on their own, but also playful winks to art history. All sculpted out of crayon.

"I have more cases of crayons in my studio than anyone should have a right to own," Williams said. "But the sight and scent of it all will usually provoke a smile. That in itself, is worthy of pursuing."

Check back soon for some of the articles about Herb's show. It was well received throughout the Lehigh Valley. We had grandparents, parents, kids, young couples, pretty much everyone stopped by to see Herb's work. Check out Herb's portfolio page to see more of his work, some of which is still in the gallery.

Contrasts - Olaf Starorypinski & Scott Nichol



"Contrasts"
Interpretations of the Female Figure by Two Contemporary Photographers

Show Runs:
March 6th - March 31st
First Friday Artist Reception:
March 6th, 7:00pm - 10:00pm


As two of the premier photographers in the Lehigh Valley, Scott Nichol and Olaf Starorypinski have turned their lenses on everything from families to forests. They also have their share of experience with that old favorite: the female form. Monsoon Galleries in Bethlehem will host a stunning series of figurative photography from Nichol and Starorypinski for the month of March.

Olaf Starorypinski was born in London to Polish parents. He has lived in the Lehigh Valley for nearly two decades, currently residing in Emmaus and working from a studio in Bethlehem’s Banana Factory. His background as a light designer influences his photography ­ sharp, vivid work with intriguing subjects and flawless technique. He photographs models in his studio and in some surprising, and recognizable settings. Bethlehem Steel has been photographed many times, but Starorypinski contrasts the stark industrial backgrounds with the soft curves of nude models for a stunning result unlike anything you have ever seen.

Starorypinski’s work calls to mind David Bailey, Robert Mapplethorpe, Howard Schatz, and Helmut Newton ­ photographic masters known for technique and precision but even moreso for style and soul.

The photography of Scott Nichol of Allentown also includes nude portraits in exotic locales. In one series, the female form is exposed against natural settings such as woods and rivers. Both model and setting are striking works of natural beauty. His in-studio works are just as striking, using movement and studio lighting to create forms that are sometimes ghostly, sometimes sculptural, and always beautiful. He captures on film the ephemeral nature of feminine beauty with style and grace.

Nichol’s work has been featured in American Photo, Photographer’s Forum and several galleries across the region.

Two fine-art photographers, one classic subject. Figurative photography on display and on sale at Monsoon Galleries for the month of March.

What: "Contrasts": Figurative Photography at Monsoon Galleries
When: March 6 - March 31.
First Friday Artist Reception: March 6 (7pm-10pm)
Where: Monsoon Gallery 11 E 3rd St Bethlehem, PA 18015 (610) 866-6600
