Adorned
Published February, 2019
Featuring Marisa Martinez Jewelry and 19 other inspiring creatives, makers, intellectuals, and visionaries
What does adornment communicate about a person's identity, worldview, and journey though time and geography?
ADORNED explores the choices people make when adorning their bodies and their living/workspaces - choices that are at once highly personal and indicative of how they desire to be perceived publicly. This book explores how adornment practices both reflect and inform identity, culture, and values.
“What role does your adornment play in your daily routine and how you move through the world? ADORNED will inspire.”

Martinez appreciates the Art Crawl for the ability to share her passion and make connections with people who are looking for classes or unique ways to express themselves. “I love being a part of the Art Crawl because it gives me the chance to meet new people and introduce them to my work. I also love sharing my space with guest artists allowing them the chance to show their pieces as well as make new connections. I have been very fortunate to meet some of my most loyal collectors during these art crawls. I think patrons really value making personal connections with the Artist. This also gives them the chance to be able to see first hand where the artist creates.”
