“Inspiration—to be inspired—comes from communion with spirit.To create in any form requires listening, hearing and receiving. Whether we know it or not. Alix and Jenny will share their creativity in 2-D and 3-D art mediums.”
About the speakers:
Jenny Saar has been attending Summit UU Fellowship for 17 years. Showing a proclivity for drawing as a toddler, her creative urges developed in multiple directions from two dimensional expression through high school, to sculpture, design and multimedia in junior college and university. After side-stepping into professional cooking and recipe development for a period, she returned to doing a variety of artwork while living in Tanzania for twelve years earning a living through logo design, murals and sculpture for safari companies, lodges and Tanzania national parks. She returned to California after reuniting with and marrying her high school sweetheart.
Metals artist and designer goldsmith Alexandra Hart is an advocate and activist for responsible sourcing, for the love of all nature and evolution. Her work celebrates the beauty found in natural forms, made of natural materials, championing evolution in the natural world. Her background includes an MFA, designing Karl Lagerfeld and Givenchy fashion jewelry, as well as German-trained master goldsmithing for Barbara Heinrich Studio, helping her achieve synergy among artistic inspiration, high design and skillful craftsmanship.
In every way she tries to reduce the negative impact her own life has on the planet, while working in leadership to more broadly help improve the world. From personally reducing consumption and using the most responsible options- to her nonprofit leadership work- as a former President of WJA San Diego, former President and then Executive Director of Ethical Metalsmiths, and Board Secretary of Compassion for African Villages, as a Rotarian, as a teacher, as a mentor of teenage girls- she lives in service for the greater good.
