Pat’s first art lessons were in oil painting. However, after several classes, she found she was more strongly drawn to pencils. Her oils

How does one go from drafting budgets to drawing stunningly detailed pencil portraits?
As instructed, she studied it from afar and a different perspective. “My tower looked more like the tower in Pisa than Venice! I had to admit that straight lines are not my strength.” She has “graduated” to faces. In addition to seeing things with a new eye, Pat continues to take time to walk away. It fits her work style. Pat refers to herself as an “intermit tent drawer.” She’ll work for 30 minutes and then walk away for a while, especially when working on something of her own design. When working on a commissioned piece, she’ll spend a little more time in any one work session. Several years after the oil painting class, Pat took a drawing class at the Delaplaine Visual Arts Center. “I learned more about perspective and focal selection there,” she said. “While I would look at the whole room, other students were looking at and focusing on individual elements within the room.” She believes that new perspec tive improved her work.
It wasn’t “giving her the eye” in the form you might receive from a disapproving parent or boss. Pat’s oil painting teacher gave her the gift of being able to see her creations with a new eye. She encouraged Pat to walk away and come back later to see her work in a different way. She suggested looking at the work in a mirror or upside down. “When you do that,” the teacher suggested, “you can more easily see where things work and where they are not quite right.”
“As I started drawing, I discovered I’m not a linear person.” She tells a story about attempt ing a drawing of dancers near a Venetian tower.
“When I’m drawing, I don’t start with the face. I work my way there. I need to feel the person before going to the face,” Pat says. While her por trayal of both hands and eyes are amazing, the eyes in Pat’s portraits could tell stories on their own. No wonder she waits to get there. Rather than in-person settings, Pat draws mostly from photographs. She adds or removes elements as necessary for her desired outcome. For her non-commissioned work, Pat takes inspi ration from a variety of images. Doing what we love and that which stirs our passion can absorb all our focus. To Pat, drawing is therapeutic. She shuts out all other things, no music, no TV, no radio. She works in a quiet Zen mood. Although she may concurrently read two to four books, she focuses and works on only one drawing at a time.

teacher was not thrilled, but all was not lost.
“Thank Heavens the teacher didn’t give up on me,” Pat shared. “She gave me the eye.”
GRECOPATRICIA CONTINUED >
Focus is especially necessary when working with pencils. They can smudge. Sometimes that’s what you want, but not always. According to Pat, “what you use where” makes all the difference. Each pencil and implement has unique effects.
Portrait pencil drawing is much more complex than anything we might have done with that familiar #2HB pencil in elementary school. While graphite pencil, compressed charcoal and charcoal pencils are all forms of carbon, they are used for totally different artistic effects. Graphite is great for creating minute details. It’s made for small, quick sketches. However, graphite is difficult to use for cov ering large spaces without creating a shine. Charcoal is better for the big-picture scenario and creating blacker or darker elements in a drawing. With the broad range of values and consistencies between the two, Pat is able to capture every possible shade of black, white or grey necessary for a project. She says she has “learned a ton of things about pencils.”
Pat has found joy living in Frederick. After working and living here in the past and then leaving, she returned to Frederick a couple years ago. She says she loves Frederick’s sense of community and camaraderie. She enjoys Frederick’s lifestyle.
25| CITYLIFESTYLE.COM/FREDERICKSEPTEMBER 2022
With her growing knowledge, Pat has cre ated a wide range of portraits with wonderfully diverse shadings and details. After sharing a beautiful image she’d done of a Native American in full headdress, however, she professed that she was not going to draw feathers again. At least not for a long while. If you’re not considering an imminent image with feathers, you may appreciate knowing that Pat prefers customers who approach her or those whom she encounters on her rare public sales events. She doesn’t have much interest in self-promotion or the “business” of art. More than other people’s admiration, Pat appreciates that others enjoy her work and that it evokes emotions and brings joy.
Through volunteer activities in Baltimore, Pat still connects to her Italian heritage. In fact, that heritage is revealed in her popular drawings of women in Italian masks. Those images and others are on notecards she’s made to sell. They will be available at the Holiday Art and Craft Fair in Wormans Mill Village Center on Saturday, November 19, 2022, from 10:00-3:00. Prints of several of her other works are also available to anyone who is interested. GrecoArtStudio.com

SUCCESS, SIGNIFICANCE AND SERVICE ARTICLE BY KRISTEN WOJDAN PHOTOGRAPHY BY MICHAEL CHANCE Po wer Couples
The phrase “Power Couple” typically refers to a couple consisting of two people who are successful and influential in their own right. A power couple recognizes each other’s strengths and weaknesses, respects each other’s independence and balances this with a healthy reliance and interdependence on one another. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together. We are excited to shine the spotlight on these three couples who have taken this concept of “Power Couple” to the next level as they continue to use their success and influence to serve and give back to the community.

WHERE EXQUISITE FINE ART AND DETAILED STORYTELLING COLLIDE MAKER’S STUDIO | STYLE + BEAUTY INBLOOMJEWELRY ARTICLE BY ARLISS VELDHUIZEN | PHOTOGRAPHY BY EMPIRE PHOTOGRAPHY 38

What began purely as a creative outlet has blos somed into a custom jewelry design company that simultaneously allows Stacey to serve people in a deeply meaningful way.
“We had a garden, we canned, we froze, we sewed–I sewed all my prom dresses. So we were makers–two teachers with four girls. We made things; it was just how we were raised.”
CONTINUED > MAKER’S STUDIO | STYLE + BEAUTY40
When she returned to Maryland to earn her Masters in Social Work, she continued to study and hone her skills, and one day, her passion for jewelry making and goldsmithing won out. She went all in—and her suc cess was incredible. From a booth at Eastern Market in D.C., to wholesale, to trade shows, to retail, Stacey had found her path, enabling her creativity to take expression in a variety of jewelry-making settings and to make a living doing what she loved. Stacey later returned to school to gain additional technical, fine jewelry skills and began taking on custom projects. Instead of strictly sticking with silver metals, she switched gears and dove into the world of fine jewelry, working with fine gemstones, diamonds and the like. Seven years later, InBloom was born! Stacey now combines her creative skill, experience and passion for serving others to create meaningful, personal jewelry.
A fourth generation native of Frederick, Stacey was born into a family of makers. Raised by parents who were raised on farms, Stacey and her three sisters learned creating as a fundamental aspect of the dayto-day. Inheriting life skills that required hands-on, from-scratch tasks and a hard work ethic, creativity became second nature to Stacey.
Having begun dabbling in beading over the years, Stacey’s interest in jewelry had already been bloom ing—and now she’d discovered a whole new level of jewelry-making. She continued to work with her new found teacher, learning techniques such as soldering, cutting and forming metal.
“My parents were educators...they were civil ser vants and really involved in the community…” she shared. Watching them serve others in their various roles inspired Stacey’s own passion for people and she applied for the Peace Corps. Teaching fish culture in Gabon, Africa for two years, seeds were planted that were quietly cultivating an entrepreneurial spirit and setting her on a creative path. When Stacey returned to the States, a combination of culture shock and the vastly different life stages of friends around her rendered it a difficult transi tion home. Eventually, she headed to El Pueblo, New Mexico where she began working as a social worker— but things took an unexpected turn that would alter her trajectory when she met a local goldsmith.
“We had a garden, we canned, we froze, we sewed–I sewed all my prom dresses. So we were makers–two teachers with four girls. We made things; it was just how we were raised. Making things was nothing for me—I could make it better than I could buy it,” Stacey shared. Still, creativity isn’t all her parents passed down to Stacey.
InBloom has a team of passionate women who devote their expert skills to create one-of-a-kind jewelry for clients. With a thoughtfully-created design process—which they’ve dubbed their “co-creative” process—they work with clients over the course of three scheduled meetings to create the piece of their dreams. From start to finish, the For Stacey Krantz, the long-term vision she had for her life took a few turns. Completely changing trades down the road, where she has landed is better than she could’ve imagined. Still, a deep-rooted affinity for people can be traced through every change in direction and remains stronger than ever in a uniquely creative way.
41| CITYLIFESTYLE.COM/FREDERICKSEPTEMBER 2022
Aside from their commitment to telling the client’s story, that’s not the only constant throughout the design process. At InBloom, every single stage of develop ment is completed in-house.
Krantz is an inspiring example to stay true to your passions, and for her, those passions are people and cre ativity. InBloom is the overflow of her skill and heart—and the whole team shares the vision. InBloomJewelry.com
That’s because for InBloom, it’s not “just” jewelry design. Holding true to her passion for people, Stacey puts it this way: “…we’re helping people to honor and rebuild something that’s theirs…when I first started working…it was very transac tional…it was less of a commit ment...this is more in depth, and there’s more at stake…we’ve both got skin in the game…so to me, it’s gotten deeper. It’s gotten more relational, and I love that too…”
In addition to their unmatched custom jewelry design services, InBloom also provides multiple collections of jaw-dropping, ready-made pieces to purchase in Staceystore.
MAKER’S STUDIO | STYLE + BEAUTY42
client voice and opinion is of the highest priority through each stage of its development.
Think: scratch kitchen vs. chain restaurant. Each step is done in the Frederick studio, from the sketch and CAD model, to casting, to stone setting, to polishing. There’s no question that each piece is made with care and expertise as the very people working closely with each cli ent to catch their vision are the same people working to bring each piece to life.
