 “Artyzen” is all about following my heart.
I am primarily a self taught jewelry artist. My approach to learning various skills and techniques and incorporating them in my work has been eclectic and it continues in the same vein.
Over the years, I have poured over books, travelled to USA, UK and Japan to gain expertise and to hone my skills to be able to create jewelry as I would love to. Creating jewelry using the language of my soul is a fascinating journey; it is indeed a passion that consumes.
Some of the skills, techniques I love to use are:
- Lampworking
- Fusing and slumping glass
- Enamelling
- Loom Work
- Various Bead stitches
- Bead Crochet with thread and wire
- Wire knitting
- Wire Wrapping
- Wire Work
- Ceramics
- Kumihimo
- Chinese Knotting
- Origami
Some of my favourite media for creating my jewelry are:
- Art Clay Silver
- Glass Beads
- Sterling Silver components
- Polymer Clay
- Copper
- Paper
- Fiber
Each skill demands a an intense level of attention and internalization of the basics before it gives of itself to the artist….and I would like to believe that I persist and give what it takes to be able to celebrate the knowledge and expertise thus gained to handcraft my jewelry, unique and very individual.
Other passions I love to indulge in when I’m not making beads or jewelry are doing Pottery and Calligraphy and art journaling. I am convinced that these disciplines too give a lot of themselves to the sensibility and sensitivity that collectively forge the jewelry I love to handcraft. I do so for the joy of creating and then sharing the tangible passion with all who’d join me in celebrating the intent and the interpretation.
My intent is to fine tune my self and my craft, as I take one step after the other, and evolve as an individual with an innate ability to interpret the magic of the universe to create pieces that are universally celebrated and worn by wonderful souls who cherish the effort and the spirit with which each piece is patiently and painstakingly handcrafted, one at a time.
At Artyzenworld, I choose to incorporate only the finest material to create tangible dreams. Only a limited number of pieces of a kind are created so that what you have in unique, and therefore, even more special.
