"Over the years, I find certain themes reoccurring in my work, the rhythmical arrangements of several elements, repetition of similar forms or colors, the unexpected contrasts of differently textured materials...
I am endlessly fascinated with gemstones, precious or not....by the wealth of different reds found in nature, by the sea of blues: the opaqueness of lapis, the transparency and subtlety of a lightly lilac-colored sapphire. One can almost paint with these stones. " - Petra Class

Mary Giles

"I interpret and express my concerns about our environment and the human condition, through my work. I have explored communication and intimacy in relationships. The results are reflected in my figural work. I admire the directness and honesty I see in tribal art and I try to incorporate those qualities in my own. My baskets express both action and reaction to what I have loved in the past and what I am discovering today. " - Mary Giles

Elissa Farrow-Savos

"My work is about the nature of the “female condition,” at times specifically pointing to gender as the basis of social, political, and emotional injustices women as a whole have experienced, at other times drawing heavily on my own personal experiences and observations as a woman who has lived with illness, loss, marriage and motherhood. In my sculptures I explore these themes within western, eastern, Asian, and African cultures. Some of my pieces are a response to a specific newspaper or magazine article that has reported on some aspect of the treatment of women that touched a nerve for me. I sculpt each piece to ensure that viewers bear witness to these stories and emotions, literally giving them a face." - Elissa Farrow-Savos
