Gretchen Riker Willig
Gretchen is a Mom and FT IT professional by day. With a background in fashion and art, she was always looking for a creative outlet and painting is a passion she shares with her 10 year old son Kenny. They love to play with colors and paint together and fluid art is their medium of choice.
Gretchen's canvases started becoming jewelry in 2023. After her home was badly damaged by a tornado in August of 2023, she and her husband were rushing around trying to save her more special pieces. He commented that it all couldn't possibly go back and she should start selling some. Art is very personal and subjective to the viewer, so Gretchen started sealing parts of her pieces under glass and selling the glass pieces in jewelry and other accessories to make it more approachable. Kenny loves helping his mom put the glass in exactly the right place and they both love spending creative time together.
Gretchen and Kenny hope you love their work as much as they do!
