Boom Boom, 2012, Encaustic mixed-media collage by Jessica Burko
Using encaustic, mixed-media, and paper quilts, Burko explores non-linear, autobiographical narrative created through upcycling and combining found ephemera with original imagery. The stitched, collaged, layered aspects of life, pieces of domestic space, and non-traditional portraits, are both real and imagined. Through this work discarded materials are unified as a way to reclaim the past and blend it with the present.

"Simplicity" Necklace and Earrings, 2013
Liz has been making jewelry since 2000. What started out as a stress-relieving hobby turned into a full-time job in 2004 when she opened Lush Beads. She is mainly self-taught. She is an active member of her artist community at Western Avenue Studios in Lowell, and is the chair of the Lowell Open Studios committee.
Liz creates work to suit many tastes - from delicate and romantic to sleek and modern. Her Industrial line of pieces made with new and repurposed hardware are sleek and modern, and a nod to her geeky past as a Computer Science major at WPI. Her Morse Code necklaces and bracelets combine the past with the present and create a unique piece of jewelry with a secret message.
Cristina Hurley Gallery is located at:
