Helen will bring copies of her recently-published book Carved Gems – Inspiration & Expertise. Reviews of her book say that, “readers will be captivated by Helen’s autobiographical story that is so closely intertwined with her art, inspired by her descriptions, educated about her methods, mesmerized by her images, and compelled to create, embrace, collect, wear, study, and fall in love with gem artwork.”
Tickets will include museum admission for the rest of the day, until the museum closes at 4pm. Be sure to see Helen's work on display in the Arizona Gallery!
Helen Serras-Herman’s award-winning, one-of-a-kind, distinctive gem sculpture and jewelry art has been exhibited world-wide and published in over 300 trade magazines and books.
