Jane Siragusa is an artist on the Central Coast living in Morro Bay.  She is a multi-talented artist creating paintings and collages, sculpture, and jewelry.  One of her favorite mediums is collage where she paints Angels using different kinds of paper, cloth, paint, inks, varnishes and other mediums that create amazing textures.  When asked why she loves painting angels, Jane has said, “I believe that Angels move among us and encourage us along in life by their will and intellect.”  Jane has selected a combination of Angel collages and devotional jewelry for this April Craft Show.

Ever since we humans figured out how to string stones and bones, we’ve adorned ourselves with things we find aesthetically pleasing. I got in on that action after a half-century of drawing and painting. Now, I view jewelry-making as 3-dimensional painting. I love the colors, shapes, and textures of natural stones, various metals, and vintage beads. The breathtaking beauty of the Central Coast provides endless inspiration. If you share my obsession with shiny, sparkly, and natural things, please have a look. If you make a purchase, you’ll be supporting Alzheimer’s and cancer research. Wear my jewelry in good health!
