I was longing for spring green.

About Me

Deb Chenault, Jewelry Artisan: I took my first, tottering steps in the jewelry making arts while on vacation in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in 1997. I was a freelance writer who fed her creative impulses by constructing handmade books complete with my illustrated prose and poems. I thought the jewelry techniques would be terrific for embellishing the books. A few years later, while visiting a gallery in Berea, I had a lightbulb moment--I thought I could make better jewelry than some of what I was seeing there! So, why not use those techniques for what they were intended--actually making jewelry! Combined with my skills as an illustrator and a writer's intuitive eye, I began to do just that. The rest is a Cinderella story. Within a year of creating my first piece, I was juried into Kentucky's most respected arts & crafts organizations, and making a successful living! Yoo-hoo! Now I fully embrace the creative life--living with my coonhound, Maizie, and my two cats, Sofie and Spaz--in the inspiring foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, just south of Berea proper.

"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary."
