Richard Salley

Richard has recently retired from teaching in public schools to devote more time to his art and teaching workshops around the country. He considers himself not so much a jeweler but rather a ‘maker of wearable art’. His interests include digital art, mixed media collage/assemblage, sculpture and jewelry.  

Richard's work has been featured in Belle Armoire Jewelry, Art Jewelry and Jewelry Artist  magazines. Other published work can be seen in Susan Lenart-Kazmer’s book Making Connections, Steel Wire Jewelry by Brenda Schweder, Steampunk Style Jewelry by Jean Campbell and Metal Style by Karen Dougherty.

 Richard and his wife, Jane, reside in Santa Fe , New Mexico.

This piece blew me away... It's titled "NEW PATHS", maybe it's the story or the piece or all of it... just phenomenal.
