Two week Artisan Spotlight featuring the art of Jill Keck
There will be a two week Artisan Spotlight at the Yaquina Art Association in Historic Nye Beach in Newport, Oregon from Sept. 14-Sept. 30, 2013 featuring the art of Jill Keck. The gallery is open from 11 am to 4 pm 7 days a week.
Jill Keck of Calise Soapworks & Such will be displaying her award winning soap and unique jewelry. Most items are ocean inspired. “I love to create functional art with soap that brings a smile,” says Jill. Her soaps are not only beautiful, but formulated with skin loving ingredients. Her jewelry ranges from whimsical holiday themes to hammered metal with upcycled bottle glass that make great gifts. Jill says, “For me, art is an expression of emotion. I have 2 little girls and I want to pass on my love for creating. I named my business after them (Camille and Elise = Calise Soapworks & Such).” You can find Jill and her work displayed at Calise Soapworks & Such at the Newport Saturday Farmers Market and the Sunday Lincoln City Farmers Market. Jill moved here in 2010 from Arizona. Originally, she is from West Virginia and has also lived in Pennsylvania and Florida. “I am a part of each of my states and I have enjoyed the journey.”
