Buying
a piece of art for a holiday gift doesn’t have to be intimidating. Art is
meant to be enjoyed, appreciated and inspiring — even frivolous and fun!
A piece of art can be the perfect gift, and one that will be appreciated for many
years.
Visit
www.BuyIowaArt.com for
an extraordinary selection of fine art created by Iowa artists, with prices that

A featured artist this month is Sara Jayne Cole, an accomplished silversmith.
Her Origami Shining is an 
excellent
example of her work — a necklace folded in silver precious metal clay and
fired leaving the pure silver origami form. Sara Jayne used what she knew of origami
to experiment with metal. The results are truly unique shapes and components that
make beautiful jewelry.
