Pippit Carlington, Jewelry Artist/Bead Weaver
Giftbearer

Being an artist is more than a full-time job; it’s a lifestyle. I hope that my work and the way I live my life will inspire others and bring joy and meaning to people’s lives.

The business name Giftbearer sums up what I bring to the table on many different levels. If you have a gift, the best way to give thanks for it is to share it, bringing along with you as many as you can on your way to the top. Abundance is infinite, so you can never lose it by passing it along, only multiply it a hundred-fold.

This principle may seem counter-intuitive within the context of today’s fiercely competitive business world, but I strongly believe that man’s strength lies in his interdependence, not in his separateness: therein lies the key to success.

Good customer service is really about communicating person-to-person. Huge conglomerates may gain in the short-term by operating on a high-volume, low price model, but I feel they’ve sacrificed what’s really important in the long-term. At the end of the day I still think many customers really want to know there’s a living breathing maker behind the product, and that their money will buy them something all their own.”

Artist Bio

Pippit Carlington has been creating art ever since she was old enough to pick up a paintbrush. At age 5 she was composing songs on the piano; teaching herself to play by ear. She often found herself re-designing things she saw around her.

Over the years Pippit went on to receive formal art training at Callenwolde Center for the Arts, The Atlanta College of Art, and Atlanta Jeweler’s School and Studios.

She works in several mediums;
including acrylics, watercolor, drawing, clay sculpture, and jewelry. A multicultural influence is evident in her work reflecting a diverse heritage of Iroquois Indian, Hawaiian, Russian Jewish, and French Canadian.

Pippit is strongly influenced by nature, political and social issues, and uses her art to educate the public. Recurrent themes of regeneration, resilience and enchantment show up in a number of forms to take the viewer on a journey of intrigue through the senses. The interplay of light, color, texture, and sometimes sound draws you into a rich inner world brimming with possibility.

Pippit’s style tends towards Contemporary Tribal, using a variety of techniques including circular peyote stitch, brick stitch, wirework, mixed-media, textile, and casting, resulting in several distinct lines.
