Jeweler Denisse Aneke, East Meadow, to Exhibit @ American Fine Craft Show @ Brooklyn Museum Nov. 19-20
Master jeweler joins 25 others—90 artisans in all—at Brooklyn Museum's landmark Beaux-Arts Court in time for holiday shopping
Denisse Aneke joins 25 other jewelers--90 artisans and artists in all--at the fourth American Fine Craft Show at Brooklyn Museum November 19-20. The jewelry at the show features spirited, passionate colors and much of the work is influenced by travel, historic references, nature and careers in far-flung industries.
The show is produced and curated by An American Craftsman Galleries that has supported crafts artists since 1982, longer than any other gallery in New York City, representing the work of over 500 from across the country.
Born in Cali, Colombia, where she received a bachelor degree in Graphic Design from the Departmental Institute of Fine Arts, Aneke comes from a family of jewelers—her father and brother--and she first learned her craft from working with them. Today her jewelry is shown and sold at fine craft shows, crafts as well as art galleries in New York City and Colombia.

She wrote on her website: “My Latin roots, have influenced my jewelry as it is characterized by the use of color, texture and remarkable details. Each one of my jewelry pieces seek to inspire something more than visual pleasure, they want to arouse emotions, feelings, curiosity and admiration and because of this I pay attention to the smallest details on every piece.” The jewelry “tells a story or anecdote and shows my feelings and emotions at the time of its creation.”
The craft show is timed for holiday shopping but not too close to Hanukah and Christmas giving visitors the treat of taking in the magnificent current and long-term exhibitions at the Museum. Concurrent special exhibitions at Brooklyn Museum include “Marilyn Minter: Pretty/Dirty;” “Beverly Buchanan—Ruins and Rituals;” “Iggy Pop Life Class by Jeremy Deller” and a ticketed exhibition, “Who Shot Sports: A Photographic History, 1843 to the Present,” $16 at the admissions desk.
