Vera's Iron and Vine, my retail store, opened in 2018, and in 2020, I began renovating a former fiddlehead cannery in Wilton, Maine, transforming it into my creative space, now called Belle Creative arts. Here, I craft and assemble mixed media, found object art, refined artisan jewelry, pottery, and one-of-a-kind pieces. You’ll often find me in my overalls, happily chatting with anyone who comes to visit!

About the event
FolkAnna is the featured artist of the month for October at Vera’s Iron and Vine. Kathy Beauregard of Industry is the owner of FolkAnna.

Included in this exhibit will be a showing of the antique Czech folk dress (kroj) that inspires her work.

Beauregard creates soft matryoshka dolls, fairy bird ornaments,…
