Meet ZiZi Designs, featured Artist at Gallery 141

ZiZi Designs Jewelry began in early 2006 as a fun hobby among friends, and evolved into a fund raising endeavor to raise support for a friend serving as a missionary in the Middle East. Each piece of ZiZi jewelry is unique, handcrafted, beautiful, and fun ---and 100% of the proceeds raised are donated to missions around the world.

ZiZi Designs' vision began as a tiny seed planted many years ago in Kirsten, who spent 6 years polishing & cutting stones in a lapidary shop. Kirsten brings her talent, knowledge, and amazing artistry to ZiZi Designs. Kirsten has served as a missionary in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, and combines her international experience and heart in each piece she creates.

Heidi joined ZiZi Designs as an understudy of sorts and has developed her own style of jewelry making. Heidi continues to join Kirsten in making jewelry to support an old friend who now serves with Eastern Mennonite Missions. She has a knack for fun & vibrant designs and a soft spirit which nourishes her elegant creations as well.

The simplicity and complexity of natural line and color is captured on canvas and acrylic. His use of color is striking...my photos don't do these pieces justice!

Meet Jacques Abreu

Meet Jacques Abreu, one of this month's featured artists at Gallery 141. His faith inspired paintings will be on display, and available for sale, at Gallery 141 all month. Jacques has extensive experience in drama and performing arts. Though hard to believe when you see the detail and intricacy of his work, painting is a new found passion Jacques discovered only 2 years ago.

Jacques is an instructor at The Chabod Academy Of The Arts. "His adventure in the arts started at a young age while traveling around the world. At 14 he went on his first mission trip to Chile and found that people responded to the arts. Returning to Chile the following year, he was with a team that focused on drama. Jacques has sung in “Grease” and played different leading roles in “Joseph and the Technicolored Dream Coat,” “Celebrate,” and “David.” Jacques’ passion is to powerfully impact people’s lives with drama and use the arts to help spread the message of God’s love."
