Foree Hunsicker (1932-2015)
In 1954, she graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in art. At UT,
she was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority. Later, she studied at Corcoran Gallery
in Washington, DC and the Arts Students League in New York City. A life-long
Francophile, in July of 1956, she made the first of many trips to Europe, this
initial journey on the venerable Queen Elizabeth. Foree always had an artistic
bent. At various times, she was a painter, clothes designer, and interior
decorator. Her greatest success, however, came as a jewelry manufacturer when
she started a company in 1987 called Medalias by Foree Hunsicker. At one time
employing nearly fifty people, Medalias specialized in luggage tag jewelry,
reproducing in sterling silver a wide variety of Victorian-era luggage tags and
fashioning them into earrings, necklaces, and other accessories. A fixture for
many years in the North Texas design world and at the Apparel Mart, Foree was
honored with a Dallas Fashion Award in 1995.
