People are always fascinated by amber and look for the rare and unusual qualities of this stone (actually it`s a petrified tree resin). When I choose pieces to work with, the more flecks and "stuff" in it, the better. So here is a pin/pendant piece featuring green amber at the top and honey amber at the bottom. The piece is called "Solstice" and it combines stamped textures, shapes, metals, and of course, gorgeous amber. Click the image to see the flecks up close.
To "Artify the Mundane" is the main inspiration for my work. I take something so ordinary (and generic) and elevate that item into something more than the everyday plain-ness of it. These switch plates are more like texture tile works of art that just happen to turn the lights on!! Each light switch or CABINET KNOB is carved and textured by hand and then gilded with metal oxides achieving a vibrant result. What can I create for you today?
