Her Art Their Art at Interurban Art House revives the captivating portrait work of Tiffany Zen and the artisanal fine jewelry of Rachel Drake, founder of Silverstorm Jewelry in Scituate, Massachusetts. This reimagined exhibition highlights two standout pieces from our previous collaboration—Silver Fox and Autumn Joy—exploring the interplay between personal expression, adornment, and shared narratives through painting and wearable art.

Zen’s mixed-media portraits on natural wood panels transform exposed grain into evocative landscapes and forms. Layered color fields, intricate linework, and metallic gilding illuminate inner resilience and glow, with jewelry woven seamlessly into the compositions to bridge the canvas and reality.

Drake’s meticulously crafted pieces are showcased alongside and integrated within these works, mirroring the paintings’ lustrous textures and depth. Gilded sculptural elements cradle rings and bracelets, emphasizing the profound link between what we wear and who we are.

In Her Art Their Art, the boundaries between creator, creation, and wearer dissolve, prompting reflection on how ornaments carry stories of identity, memory, and connection. Join us at Interurban Art House to experience this celebration of collaboration, craftsmanship, and the enduring tales held in material form.

Gilded Adornment: Animal Series brings together the enchanting mixed-media animal portraits of Tiffany Zen and the handcrafted fine jewelry of Rachel Drake, founder of Silverstorm Jewelry in Scituate, Massachusetts. This collaborative collection explores the whimsical bond between nature, ornament, and whimsy through a playful dialogue between painting and wearable art.

Zen’s delightful animal portraits are crafted on petite natural wood panels, where vibrant layered color gradients evoke dreamy sunsets and seascapes. Adorable creatures—from graceful whale tails and sparkling starfish to curious otters, soaring gulls, majestic seahorses, clever octopuses, endearing seals, and charming sparrows—are rendered in detailed linework and gilded with metal leaf to radiate inner playfulness and allure. Jewelry is not merely illustrated—it integrates seamlessly into each piece, with heart-shaped pendants adorning the animals, bridging the artistic realm with tangible elegance.

Drake’s artisanal jewelry pieces are featured within and alongside the works, mirroring the gilded textures and metallic glow of the paintings. These small-scale sculptures stand on wooden bases, inviting an intimate interaction that highlights the connection between adornment and joyful expression.

Together, the series dissolves the lines between art object and cherished keepsake. It encourages admirers to reflect on how the ornaments we select become vessels for imagination, affection, and narrative. Now available at Silverstorm Jewelry, Gilded Adornment: Animal Series celebrates artistry, partnership, and the subtle magic of materials in capturing delight.
