INFLUX Jewellery Gallery is, "...arguably the most well-designed and well-rounded art jewellery gallery in all of Canada...The gallery/boutique specializes in national and international jewellery of all types, and is clearly focused on quality, innovation and creativity. With annual competitions, revolving exhibitions and a staple supply of represented artist's work, INFLUX is a feast for the eyes.

Over forty artists show and sell their work through the gallery. Charles Lewton-Brain, Jackie Anderson, Sarabeth Carnat and other Calgarians exhibit alongside Sandra Noble Goss, Janis Kerman, Don Beaubier and other far flung jewellers. A trip through INLFLUX Gallery is like a role call of the best jewellers in Canada. It's hard to decide which is better: the wow-factor of the big-name jewellers, or the rush of discovering emerging artists with just as much talent and potential as the mentors.

The talents of all the jewellers displayed in the gallery are obvious, but those of the co-owners are also to be admired. Three of the fours partners, Shona Rae, Devon Clark and Kari Woo are all established jewellers. The fourth and final partner, Herb Sawatzky, can be thanked for the interior bliss of INFLUX. His skill as a furniture designer facilitated the construction of the gallery space. Display junkies will be impressed at the sheer volume of work in the store, which never feels crowded or in competition with the surrounding pieces. Experimental and highly functional work reside together in the gallery, where each piece truly tells a story."
