This month, we welcome a new artist to the Gallery, Nancy Ennis! What is your background? By profession, I am a teacher. Since retiring from the school system, I have continued working with students by tutoring high school students in English and US History. Running parallel to my teaching career has always been my art. What is your medium and why did you choose it? I have always been drawn to jewelry. I began dabbling in jewelry making when I was a child, and it has continued throughout my life. I suppose you could say it choose me! My jewelry design focus shifted in 2005 when I took my first silversmithing class. Since then, I have worked primarily as a silversmith. What is your favorite artwork? I like to collect artwork that has been made by people I know and respect. For example, I have a collection of watercolor paintings done by a close friend and hand painted gourds by another. I also try to buy a piece of jewelry from my teacher each time I take a class.
