Harper College's Studio V Spotlight: Sue Neel

Check back each Friday to learn about a different featured local artist whose work is on display, and for sale, in Studio V on the Harper College campus. 

Whether you are an art aficionado, looking for a unique gift or enjoy picking up interesting finds to accent your home or work, Studio V at Palatine’s Harper College is simply a must-see.

An eclectic collection of inspired creations from local artists fill the 8,000 square foot studio located just east of the Roselle Road entrance into Harper College, 1200 W. Algonquin Road at Roselle Road, naturally in Building V.

Items for sale, which are sold on consignment, range from paintings and wall hangings, to jewelry, purses and high-end fashion [some couture] clothing, along with home décor items including coasters, beaded utensils, ceramics and so much more.

You really just have to see it to take in the wide variety of talent represented. 

Sue Neel of Arc-a-beadies, is one of those local, featured artists.

Neel, a native of Hoffman Estates, creates handmade beaded jewelry, accessories and custom creations, in addition to repairing jewelry.

"No two women are alike. Their jewelry shouldn't be either," Neel said.

Her ideas and inspirations all stem from one simple concept: why save jewelry for a special occasion? Everyday is an opportunity to look fabulous!

Neel will be holding a small workshop at Studio V on August 15.
