We are delighted to share some beautiful wearable pieces by Charlotte-based artist Eliana Arenas. Eliana, a McColl Center for Art + Innovation alumna, earned a BFA in Metalsmithing and Graphic Design from University of Texas – El Paso and an M.F.A. in Metalsmithing and Jewelry from New Mexico State University. Since then, she has gained a reputation for creating unique works using non-traditional materials. We loved learning more about Eliana’s work on the McColl Center’s blog a few months back.

Get in touch with us at happeningsclt@gmail.com if you want to snatch up one of these pieces.
