SHIBUMI GALLERY presents MODERN PRIMITIVES, our next show featuring the work of Eric Silva Jewelry and Robert Brady Sculpture. 

The works in this show capture the raw creativity of these artists.  Eric and Robert create pieces using natural elements and found objects combined with non-precious and semi-precious materials.  Historical references to time and other cultures permeate throughout their work.

If 'Primitive Modernism' were a movement, these two would both be members.

Presenting inspired new pieces by SHIBUMI artists as well as loose pearls, matched pairs and single strands.

LAURA LIENHARD founded her jewelry studio after a successful twenty-year career in textile design, turning a highly trained eye from the patterns of the loom toward explorations in metal. Investigations into the interplay of pattern and structure define her work. Elements in her jewelry are derived from nature’s forms and textures as well as its surprises. Spontaneity and instinct lead to unique, often kinetic connections of hand fabricated elements that harken back to her textile roots.

Fiat Lux Owner Marie McCarthy is joining us at Shibumi to offer permanent jewelry welding of 14k gold necklaces, bracelets and anklets in a variety of chain styles. We will also have our signature Shibumi chains in 18k gold available to be welded. Service includes chain selection, fitting, and finally - fusing of your permanent piece.

SHIBUMI GALLERY is pleased to present Ethereal Treasures, new work by RUTH TOMLINSON. Ruth recently had a residency on the ‘Garden Isle’ of Kauai; her newest pieces inspired by its green valleys, tropical rain forests, cascading waterfalls and stunning coastline. The collection features bright emerald greens, translucent blue gemstones and pearls, alongside raw diamonds with her signature organic gold granulation. Please join us for its opening on Saturday, October 8th from 12 - 5:30pm.

SHIBUMI GALLERY is pleased to present Re-Finery featuring artist Kate Eickelberg, whose work explores the intersection of industrial raw materials when merged with precious metals and fine gems.

SHIBUMI GALLERY is pleased to present Reimagined Heirlooms featuring artist, poet, and alchemist Maya Kini.

Kini’s work—both in language and in three dimensions—explores the concept of metamorphosis—little resistance as it is moved from one form to another—and the changing value of objects as they are transformed and imbued with meaning through exchange, often outlasting their makers.

SHIBUMI GALLERY is pleased to present PARALLEL OPPOSITES featuring jewelers Kelsey Simmen and Olivia Shih. Their work and approaches are strikingly similar in many ways, but evolve from opposite contexts and perspectives. Both make work that is exciting and sensual yet aesthetically unique.

SHIBUMI GALLERY presents WILDHEART - new work by Lisa Ziff. Some people are drawn into the wilderness, to the margins of the world, enchanted by the diversity and unbounded creativity of natural forces. Lisa Ziff is one such explorer. She’s a curious and keen observer of the living and the physical worlds whose work evokes a variety of geological, zoological and botanical forms: tentacles, spines, and shells; buds, carapaces and clouds; petals, pebbles and watercourses. Working from a unique texture or a microscopic close-up, Lisa carves magical worlds inspired by nature in her jewelry. The wild--the natural world--we feel is the most powerful inspiration anyone can pull from.

Jewelry is often given as a symbol of love, and we encourage and appreciate the practice of honoring someone dear. We know our clients are unique in their vision and create genuine memories in whatever way feels right to them. Valentine’s Day is an occasion to mark with authentic gifts, not Hallmark sentiments, so we offer you the subtle beauty of Lisa’s work, hand-carved and cast in 10k gold, at an irresistible price.

SHIBUMI GALLERY is pleased to present Ruth Tomlinson's new Fall 2021 Collection featuring brilliant earthy greens and ocean blue gemstones alongside of her raw diamonds and signature organic gold granulation. Please join us for her opening on Saturday October 10th. We strongly recommend appointments as we are still at limited capacity. This one month show will feature many of her colorful gemstones and her unique raw diamond creations. You can avisit the gallery to see this beautiful new collection, to inquire about custom pieces with your own gemstones or pick out an early holiday gift!

SHIBUMI GALLERY presents OHANA a summer show to feed our souls. We are all feeling ready for a true summer; beaches, sunsets and some serious relaxation after last year. But are we really ready to travel and adventure out into the world again? The past year has made us dream of the carefree life and the innocence we once had about health and loved ones. We may value our pods more and may have a new sense of who our true 'ohana' is after 2020.

We have always loved the Hawaiian term ohana because its meaning of 'family' extends outside of the people you are related to. The idea that anyone can become family is one of the strikingly beautiful aspects of Hawaiian culture.

For summer, we have curated Hoops + Bangles from our Shibumi artists. It's the carefree jewelry that you can easily put on, layer and never take off. Who doesn’t love a new hoop or a bangle to wear all summer long.

Alongside the jewelry, Shibumi will also feature artwork and paintings by Cathy Liu. Her art pieces convey 'malama pono' another Hawaiian term which translates to "take care". However, the deeper meaning is take care of your light (soul) which she describes as the intent of all her work.

So take a short journey to visit our summer show at Shibumi. Or come by to pick out something to take with you on your summer travels.

SHIBUMI GALLERY presents FLORA & FAUNA, opening March 20, 2021, to welcome the first day of Spring.

Nature has always been a distinct and driving source of inspiration for many of the artists who show with Shibumi Gallery. And during the pandemic not only have we appreciated the grounding force of nature and its beauty and tranquility, but the outdoors has also offered us some of the only safe spaces for connecting with family, friends and loved ones.

With spring comes new beginnings and as nature starts its quiet determination to bud forth again, Flora & Fauna pays homage not only to nature for its ability to inspire, but also for the shelter and haven it has offered us during these times.

Please visit us in the gallery through the end of April to see this inspiring show which bridges the genres of jewelry, sculpture and painting. More will be posted online in the following weeks.

Shibumi Gallery is pleased to announce Color, Light, Luster.

The past year has found us all clinging to small moments of 'normalcy': a walk with a friend, a delicious meal, a movie to cozy up with or time spent with loved ones in our pods. These occasions that we once took for granted have now become special, memorable and personal - taking on a new significance.

Color, Light, Luster is a show to remind us that beauty, like these small moments, is something that can be easily overlooked, but found every day in unexpected places and appreciated in special ways. The pieces for this show were curated with loved ones in mind as Valentine's Day nears. Perhaps a favorite color or stone, or a piece to be worn every day can serve not only as an expression of love but also a reminder that beauty is never far.

The giving of jewelry is an intimate gesture whether gifted to a loved one, a friend or even oneself. What once may have been ‘normal’ is perhaps now a bright spot to be appreciated, remembered and celebrated.
