Inspired



These are small adornments that have airy movement similar to a mobile. This line of jewelry is entitled "INSPIRED". I have used discarded sterling silver, Glass and a torch to create renewed pieces of art. Designed, fabricated and handmade with my hands at Reflective Art Studio in Salt Lake City, Utah.

I love custom orders, everything from color matching to bridal designs. I have a plethora of glass colors to choose from and gold is an option at a higher price point. Feel free to contact me to discuss custom order details. You can purchase these from my on line store.

ENJOY!

UMFA: Splendid Heritage


































This February the Utah Museum of Fine Arts Premiered this landmark exhibition. I have created a line of jewelry to celebrate this exhibit and American Indian Art. Hand forged brushed sterling silver with bezels of resin coated paper of Native American Art.  Each piece comes with a description of what the artifact is, Tribe and Circa.

This five ring set features a bit of an image of a Kachina carving supernatural carrying (Polik Mana), Hopi, circa 1940. The Hopi and other Pueblo peoples carve figure to represent the Kachinas, supernatural beings responsible for carrying the prayers of the people to the heavens.

Image 2-
This pendant set features a bit of an image of Leggings, Tlingit, circa 1880 including a small sterling date stamp hanging from 16" ball chain. It was common for the Tlingit people, on important occasions, to wear garments decorated with designs of crest animals, such as this frog design.

I would like to suggest to take a visit the UMFA to see this exhibit. Museum Hours are Tuesday- Friday 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Wednesday 10:00 am - 8:00 pm
Saturday and Sunday 11:00 am - 5:00 pm
