See my style through these various subjects, and get in touch for more information.
ADDITIONAL ARTWORK
3-D art
In this section, I would like to present a three dimensional project, where I have incorporated paint and jewelry smithing.
DOUBLE LOVER'S EYE BROOCH
Oil paint on metal jewelry
I created this piece through jewelry smithing and cold connections.
This brooch was based off victorian era jewelry, with the idea of keeping a piece of someone you love, near you. By only having one eye painted, the identity of the lover is usually kept a secret.
In my piece, I created a double lover's eye, with a moving rivet. When closed, only a single eye can be seen, but you can actually open it up, to reveal a second eye. The identity of the lover becomes a little more revealed with the addition of the second eye.
