GALLERY OWNER SHAW CONTEMPORARY JEWERLY, 1983 - PRESENT
I created a gallery to showcase my own, as well as work by other jewelry artists. The 3,000-square-foot gallery is located in the resort town of Northeast Harbor, on the coast of Maine. I carry the work by numerous designers, and fifteen shows per summer. I have four full time jewelers, and I sell my work nationwide. |
