It starts with a desire to create something new and unique every day. A way to express my feelings in a physical or visual form.
I love the connection that is created between the wearer and her individual piece. My goal is for each piece to evoke a deep feeling inside of love and self-confidence. It's all about the feeling!
I have a great love for all art forms and feel that having a variety of mediums to work in helps keep me to stay fresh and open to new ideas. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Cal State University Fullerton in the Crafts with an emphasis in metalsmithing and jewelry. While there, I took classes in glass fusing, print making, artist book binding, painting, metalsmithing, jewelry, and woodworking!
I also work with my husband as a Cinematographer. Together we are Stillwater Cinematography. I love to be behind the camera especially with an amazing landscape or venue in front of me! http://www.stillwatercinematography.com/
My husband and I recently moved to Northern California to live in a cabin in the woods, surrounded by diverse forests, amazing countryside and people. A place to be inspired to do our work. Living in the elements to observe them expressing their complex beauty with gentle grace.
These shapes and textures become formed into metal. In my work you see shapes of leaves, bugs, moss and insects as they gently move and radiate their essence across the landscape. From the earth to you!
Peace!
Wendy
