Ling-Yen Jones, Handmade Jewelry and Scott Chieffo, Photography at the Dolphin

Presented by Dolphin Sea Cliff Center 39140 Highway One Gualala at The Dolphin Gallery and Gift Shop

Ling-Yen Jones will be displaying her jewelry creations. Jones, a local Mendocino County
jeweler, works mainly in silver, semi-precious stones, and pearls, and her style ranges
from the traditional to the modern. Her work is clearly unique, each of her pieces is
individually handmade, and therefore all are one-of-a-kind or in small series with
repeating motifs. Jones defines jewelry as creations, which are useful, artistic, symbolic,
identifying, and an expression of personal ideas. “In my earring line, some of the motifs I
use are leaves, birds, and windows. When these elements and others are integrated into a
piece they can represent new beginnings, changes, hope, and further growth in ones self.
The materials that I enjoy using most are sterling silver, copper, gold, pearls, and
semiprecious stones.”

In the more than 15 years that Scott Chieffo has been living on the Southern Mendocino
Coast, he has developed an intimate photographic relationship with the coast\’s unique
landscape. His images capture the subtle beauty of the coast and forests with a highly
unique, “painterly” style that emphasizes the quiet solitude of these landscapes. Scott’s
main photographic goal is to be able to communicate this unique viewpoint to others,
such that they are able to look upon his images and develop a new and stronger
appreciation for life’s details. Chieffo believes that a fine art photographic image is most
powerful if it can be viewed with increasing pleasure repeatedly for many years, rather
than simply have a strong initial impact.

Both Chieffo’s and Jones’s works will be on display throughout the month of December
