Amanda DeWitt, Liberty Square's retail manager, who
is herself an artisan jeweler and silversmith said the
two day trunk show at Liberty Square is worth visiting
if only to see the work of this internationally acclaimed
artist. "Motty's work has been an inspiration to
many aspiring artisan jewelers, throughout the world."

Richman was juried into the SOFA Show (Sculpture Objects and Functional Art) in Chicago through the 1990's. After selling her jewelry gallery in 1999 Richman now holds private jewelry shows in Milwaukee and Miami.
The show is open to the public and is intended to provide
