My name is Rainie Barton and a Massachusetts native. I am a retired high school teacher and educator, now loving my new job as an artist, jeweler and metalsmith. I love natural and organic subjects. Sterling Silver, copper and brass are my main media, but when I can afford it, I also like to work in gold.
I started exploring art in clay and loved the feeling of creating something with my bare hands from the inspiration that is in my head. It is incredibly exciting to make something that looks alive from a material that is so rigid and it's a wonderful feeling to actually see the item come to life as you work on it.
Western Avenue Studios has provided me with an artistic home and am truly inspired by the other artists in our mill. It's truly a lovely, collaborative community.
