Greg Luff

For as long as I can remember I have been an artist. I have always been fascinate with light, color and shape. I am a senior at Palisade High School.
For the last seven years I have worked in clay and two years ago I began working in glass. This year I have combined the two,
creating mixed media pieces of functional art in addition to pendants, vortex and floral marbles, and beads.
In addition to glass, I use only naturally found gems, shells, pearls and silver findings in my jewelry pieces.

I have named my business Elements of Earth. It reflects my deep respect and appreciation for nature.
Our surrounding canyons, mesas, orchards, farmland and desert are the inspiration for much of my work.

It was not until I took a trip to Great Britian as a student ambassador for People to People that I became focused on glass as an artform.
The visit to Waterford Crystal Factory literally changed my life. I came back determined to learn and create in this medium.

After acquiring the proper equipment, I had about six months of experimentation on my own.
After school was out, I was able to attend classes at Glasscraft in Denver and the Eugene School of Glass in Oregon.
I was also fortunate to be accepted into Snow Farm in Massachusetts.
Snow Farm is part of the New England Arts and Crafts Program and run specifically for high school students.

I appreciate your interest in my art and hope you enjoy your purchases!

Efrat Dalton is the artist and founder of E. Designs Boutique. She is a self-taught artist who has loved to draw and paint since childhood. Through the years, she developed her own style and technique using a variety of media including computer art, ceramics and jewelry design. After family and friends encouraged her to start showing and selling her beautiful creations with the rest of the world, she launched her business in the fall of 2002 and started an on line boutique in 2008. She has lived near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado since 1987.

Most of her work is hand-crafted one-of-a-kind originals or limited editions; she uses the finest materials available.
A bilingual artist, she describes her art as, "the unspoken language of my soul." Using mixed media and vintage materials enables her to express herself in a variety of styles.

Artist statement: Each piece of jewelry/art that I create is a reflection of the abundant creativity I am blessed with and my love for beauty. I credit all my creations to the divine world.
I'm it's instrument and it works through me. When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say
"I used everything that you blessed me with." My wish and hope for you is that when you purchase my art, you will feel the joy and love it was created with.
