Harriet, how did you get into making your lovely jewelry?
I am an art lover. It’s
who I am and a part of me. For 25 years I was the curator of American art at our
local museum. I spent that time looking
at art, writing about it, exhibiting it and being thankful for the wonderful
opportunity of overseeing the museum’s collection of American art. When that
ended during their big layoff, I knew I had to stay in the arts, but this time
I wanted to be the artist not the art historian. I have a BA and MA in Art
History, but never envisioned having a creative side.
Before I left my
position, I began taking courses in metalsmithing at our art center. I soon
discovered that I had a talent for creating jewelry. I continued my creative
learning experience by taking additional courses in wire wrapping, beading and
precious metal clay. I have a Level 3 certification in precious metal clay. I
don’t like to specialize in a certain technique because for me it is
limiting. One of the most exciting
aspects of being an artist is learning something new and creating something
different with my newly acquired knowledge.
What I do specialize in is one of a kind jewelry. I don’t think I could, nor would I try, to
duplicate my pieces. I want people to
feel they have something special that they won’t see on anyone else.
Thanks, Harriet! You've got beautiful jewelry! I think it would make the perfect gift for someone who loves jewelry and already has everything or loves intricate designs!
