Meet Indie South Artist - Suzi Linden

I explore art to know myself and my world.

I am a student of myth and find truth in the stories of many cultures. I look for light in the darkness and enjoy exploring the relationship of positive and negative space. I am always changing mediums.

Meet Indie South Artist - Laurel Hill Jewelry

I make jewelry in Athens, Georgia. I love living in the south, where I was born.  I'm inspired by primitive jewelry, the connection between the form and function of adornment.

Laurel Hill Jewelry is a one-woman operation.  I design it, I make it, I photograph it, I pack it, I ship it, and I'm grateful to spend my time doing what I love.
