ART BY REDZ
I’ve always found art inspiring; and never thought of it as something I could do, but over the years I’ve come to find it extremely therapeutic, and as a way to express who I am and how I feel about the world, especially the way we look at our bodies and sex. My art is a true reflection of how naked I feel every day, how naked we all feel when being ourselves, or when we’re trying to get attention from this world. Although I am new to this beautiful world of art, I feel such a strong love for it, it’s all I think about, and all I do, no matter how vulnerable it makes me feel, it also empowers me, and I hope it does the same for others.

PATRICE CRICHLOW
In 2006 I was diagnosed with lupus. For the next three years I battled seizures, endless hospital stays then I had my hip replaced.
I was extremely overwhelmed that’s when I noticed that my friends had disappeared, I had lost my license, & the reality that I wouldn’t be able to return to the workforce had sunk in. Making jewelry was something that always gave me peace. I began making jewelry to keep myself occupied & distracted. Before I knew it I had a small collection. That is how Konfidence Jewelry was born. I named my business Konfidence because through my jewelry I got my voice back. I make Sterling Silver jewelry with Gemstones, Freshwater Pearls, & Swarovski Crystals. In late 2009 I hosted my first home show. Over the next few years I did a few hosted a few more jewelry parties at peoples houses & made jewelry for two bridal parties. Then I had to slow down once again.
I sell Calabash purses small & large. Jewelry boxes & Sculptures (wooden & stone).
