About Us

Meike grew up in the arts and crafts circuit in her native Germany, touring the country with her mother’s fiber art.

Studying art history and creative arts at the university of Hamburg, Germany, gave her the opportunity to experiment with many different techniques and media.

She then spent two years in Niger, West Africa, working with a development program focusing on the local artisans and marketing their art.

In West Africa is where she met her husband, Hector Godoy, with whom she now lives in Key West, Florida, working as a resident artist at the nightly Mallory Square Sunset Celebration.

Hector has been involved in the creative arts all his life.

From creating murals at the age of 14 in his hometown Gilroy, California, to working as a street artist in his current home Key West, he has worked with all kinds of media including glass, wood carving, photography as well as doing theater set design for Teatro Campesino in California.

He has now focused all his efforts on Insect-Art and carved rocks.

About Our Jewelry

Having been influenced by the tropical and casual lifestyle of South Florida, Meike is creating what she had always liked best: not-so-fine jewelry that does not involve any precious metals. Her pieces are created with the young art patron in mind.

Meike uses glass nuggets, natural stones and beach glass that she paints – many pieces take several layers of different sorts of paint to achieve the desired effect of opalescence, certain shimmers and shines, fluorescence, etc.
She then sculpts a two-part epoxy-resin around the glass or stone to form each piece’s individual shape and design. Using everyday small objects (screws, pens, window screens, etc) pressed into the resin she achieves different surface structures as well as her signature on the back of each piece – a little Kokopelli figure, the Hopi Native God of Prosperity.

Once the resin has hardened and dried, she dyes the piece, then sands and buffs it in order to bring out the texture of the surface as well as the shine of the glass.

Meike has been showcasing her jewelry in art shows all over the Eastern part of the United States such as SunFest, West Palm Beach, FL, Neptune Arts Festival, VA and Westmoreland Arts and Heritage Festival, PA.
