Taylor Reinhold seems to leave a trail of art behind him wherever goes. His graffiti-inspired work can be seen not only on the walls of local establishments like the Aqua Breeze Inn and Live Oak Elementary School, but also in the industrial section of Honolulu’s Chinatown, on business logos and energy bar labels and at […]
Hi, Santa Cruz! Here’s my #wednesdayWIP . What are you working on? #localsc Artist- Julianna Chavez
Hi, Santa Cruz! This is the start of a new drawing that I’m working on for the Somewhere in California illustration series of mine. This is also the start of #wednesdaywip — another reason to keep everyone doing and sharing art! I’ll be posting every week and I hope you do, too. Don’t forget to use […]

I like to make each one different (something about it makes me feel like they’re good luck) and add a little inspirational message at the bottom to keep its owner […]

Good morning, Santa Cruz! Artist- Julianna Chavez
I’m excited to share this pair of feather earrings made using one of my favorite stones: fire agate. Similar in quality to opals, another one of my favorites, fire agate has a glowing quality when light hits it. The fiery glowing parts of the stone vary in color and quality within the same stone. It […]
Rutilated Ammonite This week I finished this rutilated quartz and ammonite pendant for a good friend of mine. This pendant is hard to capture in a photograph. The light has to catch the quartz just right for the ammonite to show through. I finished the pendant with some twisted wire and spiral to provide some […]
