February 13th - Susan Tereba Gem & Ivory Show at the Andrea Smith Gallery

Please join us in welcoming world-renowned artist Susan Tereba, all the way from her secluded home in Southeast Asia. Susan will be showcasing her stunning creations which are hand-carved from Wooly Mammoth tusk.

Susan Tereba designs and creates one-of-a-kind spiritually infused jewelry and sculptures that draw upon elements from different cultures around the globe, crossing eons of time with the intention of reawakening the senses of joy, respect and awareness of our interconnectedness with all that is. The amulets created are a combination of gemstones and beads that express the theme of the piece. The sculptures have exquisite presence and are small enough to be displayed easily on an altar or shelf in the home. They are magnificent works of art that range from dragons, and frogs, to Buddha and Quan Yin. The subjects of the amulets are always spiritual, often about compassion and the inner journeys we all take. Each piece has a special story written by Susan describing the work.

Tereba often incorporates ancient, antique, handcrafted beads into their amulets. The combination of these beads, gemstones and ivory kindle an energy when put on, often causing a shift for the wearer, who is often deeply moved emotionally. The intention of her work is to “touch, tickle, or remind you of your own uncharted areas.” She feels that the essence of her location in Bali contributes its own magic to each of the pieces.

Please come and meet Susan and view this, the largest show of legal fossilized ivory, on display here in Sedona. Join us at the Andrea Smith Gallery in Sedona on Saturday February 13th from 12pm until 5pm for this extraordinary display. The Andrea Smith Gallery is in the Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village, at 336 State Route 179 in Sedona, located under the Oak Creek Brewery.
