Ronald Paysner painstakingly creates
relief sculptures with jewelry mainstays.

SUZANNE CHESSLER
Special to The Jewish News

T

he prices of Ronald Paysner's
artistry can rival the prices of
the materials he recently has
been using.
That's because his new relief sculp-
tures are completed with Austrian crys-
tals, acrylic rhinestones, glass beads and
other jewelry mainstays.
The baubles are part of an add-on
process, the finishing touches that bring
luminous surfaces to faces and head-
dresses formed from clay and plaster.
One relief includes $1,000 worth of
Austrian crystals. Another has $500
worth of rhinestones.
. “All this work derives from dreams,
said Paysner, 56, a retired educator who
has taught college and precollege stu-
dents. "They capture the memories of
those visions and are not rationally
thought out."
"Angels and Goddesses," an exhibit
of 14 of his 40 wall hangings, will be

featured Nov. 7-29 at the Uzelac
Gallery in the Oakland Arts Building, 7
N. Saginaw, Pontiac.
The pieces, which occasionally show
more than just heads, represent a syn-
thesis of craft techniques, surrealistic
colorizations, expressionistic move-
ments, pop subject matter and original
assemblage.
Not being shown are similar works
that capture men as subjects. An exam-
ple is a blues musician portrayed with
shimmery blue stones.
The patterned beads, sometimes
encrusted into Venetian lace shaped
with fabric stiffener, often meander into
abstract designs framing the faces.
"I think of this series as decorative
and thought provoking," Paysner said.
"It's almost as if each one can tell a
story. An average piece takes 150-200
hours to complete."
The Princess and the Frog is a takeoff
on the classic fairy tale, the artist
explains. Instead of the princess kissing
the frog and turning him into a prince,
