Jovita Schneider, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cFeaturing local artists isn\u2019t just something we do; it\u2019s part of who we are,\u201d says gallery director Sarah Marshall. \u201cNew Morning Gallery has spent decades building long-term, personal relationships with makers across Western North Carolina. These aren\u2019t transactional connections; they\u2019re built on trust, shared history and a real understanding of each artist\u2019s voice.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Jovita Schneider, creating art had always been something she did for herself, never giving a thought to selling her creations to others. \u201cCOVID-19 actually gave me an opportunity to find something very enjoyable to do,\u201d she says. \u201cThat is when I started to make little jewelry out of beads as gifts for friends and family. I loved to work with beads so much that I didn\u2019t even notice when I had too many pieces.\u201d In 2021, New Morning Gallery began to display her work.<\/p>\n

Julie Simon, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Julie Simon\u2019s jewelry pieces blend sculptural design with natural stones and intricate metalwork for a soulful and timeless, yet personal, look. Both artists were chosen for work that has exhibits freshness while at the same time reflecting Western North Carolina\u2019s creative spirit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith jewelry especially, the work is intimate\u2014it\u2019s worn close, chosen with care\u2014and that sense of closeness mirrors our relationship with the artists who create it,\u201d Marshall says. \u201cShowcasing their work gives visitors a chance to experience the richness of our region\u2019s craft community, and it gives artists meaningful visibility and support. It\u2019s a way for everyone to feel connected.\u201d<\/p>\n
