September Guest Artists Barbara Paul and Ellyn Wenzler

This September, The Crozet Artisan Depot welcomes Barbara Paul of BPaul Creations and Ellyn Wenzler as part of our guest artist series.

Barbara’s By Hand, From Nature features handcrafted sterling silver jewelry created through her love of metalsmithing. Each piece evolves at the workbench, often incorporating gemstones and rich patinas. A longtime Harrisonburg resident, Barbara finds joy in creating wearable art that carries the heart and intention of its maker.

Ellyn’s Painting in Pieces features vibrant acrylic landscapes and abstracts. Inspired by the feeling of nature, especially expansive skies and open horizons, Ellyn builds her paintings piece by piece using palette knives and small pieces of plastic to create richly textured, quilted, collage-like surfaces.
