In late 2000 Jeannie Myers left her
executive suite job in the San Francisco Bay Area and, with her
broad experience and skills,
established
Genie With Design,
a graphic design and administrative support
business. After moving to the serene foothills of Northern California,
her interests evolved in a more creative direction so she expanded
her offerings to include hand-crafted jewelry
and clay sculpture. Jeannie brings her artistry, imagination, and precision to each
arena, so you can always count on top quality and a fair price.
Jeannie
has explored a multitude of art forms since her earliest childhood
years in rural Wisconsin. Starting from those first pencil sketches of
figures, faces, and local pastoral scenes, to pastels and oils;
from wheel-thrown pots and hand-built sculpture; from graphic arts and website
design to hand-crafted jewelry items, her artistry has continued to
evolve.
As a jewelry designer, Jeannie
Myers draws on her inborn, well-honed artistic talent and her
meticulous approach to bring you creations that personally
complement you, the wearer. Designing pieces from her always-growing
collection of unique pendants and beads, with user-friendly clasps,
Jeannie aims to satisfy your personal jewelry desires with
beautiful, artful, unique, and comfortable-to-wear creations.
As a sculptor, Jeannie works with a variety of high-fire clays,
building mostly human-related forms – experimenting, inventing,
testing the limits of her media. Her inspiration is drawn from the
fertile ground of “real life,” those people living their agonies and
ecstasies, challenges, and achievements. Great artists with a
particular influence over the years are Auguste Rodin, Beniamino Bufano, and
Norman Rockwell. Jeannie’s sculptures express a sensitivity and
strength in their execution, as seen in the evocative “Worn Out,” the
heart-wrenching “Linda Agony,” the pensive “Muffy,” the tender “Emoting Figure #1," and the moving “Wounded.”
Her work has been described as possessing an identifiable and unique
"hallmark."
Jeannie has displayed her sculpture in shows and exhibits in the San Francisco Bay Area and in Northern
California. She sells her jewelry on this website, at local craft
shows, and on Etsy.
