Anyone live in the Pittsburg area? Four Winds Gallery is having a meet and greet (and buy?) show for Jennifer Curtis Friday and Saturday May 9th and 10th. What a treat it would be to meet her and see her gorgeous offerings

I was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area, but did not know this place existed.
Of course I’ve been away for 24 years!
Oh @Stracci, check out Four Winds Gallery, they carry a great variety of high quality NA jewelry. I think you’d appreciate it. Carol Krena (Anglo) one of the gallery founders (along with her husband, John), is a fabulous Jeweler; you’ll appreciate her unique style!

Growing up in PA, NA jewelry was not really popular. My parents loved and collected it, but they were not typical in that respect.
So this gallery is certainly unusual for the area.
I did look at the website a little, and the prices were a bit crazy. But then I’m used to pricing here in NM.
And I agree, Jennifer Curtis does amazing work!
I love Jennifer Curtis’s work and have some outstanding pieces from her. You can definitely see the influence and skill of her dad Thomas Curtis in her design and stampwork.
Four Winds has been a favorite of mine for a long time. John and his partner Jody started it I guess 50 years ago and John continues to be a beloved character in the dealer community. Re pricing they used to be less pricy than Santa Fe but are now equivalent. I personally have had fair, positive purchasing experiences, as well as trading/selling to.
Agree that Carol Krena’s jewelry is masterly and beautiful (modernist, non-Native).
