Company: 1) Cactus Wren Artisans 2) Designs By Gale Jewelry
Location:  Tuscon, AR United States

Drawing her inspiration from desert scenes, Gale Thomssen uses gemstones, minerals, fossils, glass beads, and a variety of other media, and mixes them with silver, copper and gold. Each and every piece is unique. Ms. Thomssen got her start in the jewelry world after her friend got in a bad car accident; that woman’s husband asked her to buy gemstones so that his wife could bead during her recovery, and Ms. Thomssen discovered she liked the craft herself. She believes that all artists have something unique to offer, as art is a very personal experience. Ms. Thomssen personally enjoys working with copper best, as she likes the warmth and richness of the metal. Additionally, she loves combining many of the gemstones from the southwest and the world, and weaving them from her experiences and dreams.
