Intricately hand fabricated and forged using traditional silversmith techniques; beginning with milled sheet and wire; the shapes are sawn out, details and textures are hand stamped in loving attention, filing, forging, soldering, oxidizing, polishing: repeat until bibbiddi bobbiddi boo! Artist Sarah Flicek creates in her home studio in Delano, MN with her three handsome boys and pup Luna.

Amy Fitzpatrick, Pop-up Artist
I believe that art can raise consciousness, both through the process of creating it and experiencing it. My work grows out of this belief, and forges a connection to the natural world, cycles and seasons, earth-centered ancient spiritual practices, self exploration, music, and the search of a deeper meaning and connection to the sacred.
My work fits into three categories: mindfulness practices, talismans, and quirky fun.
I hold a daily mandala practice during the dark half of the year in northern Minnesota. What started as a way to ground myself for the day morphed into a technically challenging body of work filled with sacred geometry and deep spiritual meaning.
The talismans I create are in the form of a tarot deck and sigil cards, inspired by the work of Elizabeth Haidle. My talismans are designed to be interactive and used in practice like mediation, ceremony and intention setting.
Laughter and humor comes out in my lighthearted work which includes album art and band posters featuring goofy dogs as well as journal comics and quirky woodland animal paintings. I primarily work in ink and watercolor, but also have created with collage, paper mache, painted murals, and stop motion animation.
My art is rich with sacred geometry and symbols, I draw much of my imagery from intuition or tuning into the energies around me. I am also inspired and guided by archetypes, surrealism and dream imagery. My hope is that you approach my art with a sense of wonder and openness, and that it can serve you in your journey for healing, discovery and connection.
