Artist's Statement
Once upon a time, I dreamed of making my own jewelry....so, I would get components and beads from the market and put them together, proud of "making" my own necklaces and earrings...and then, I discovered a whole universe of "handmade" jewelry, components and glass beads and.....it beckoned...and I responded....believing firmly that the Universe would share the creative bounties with me too....
Gradually, with blessed guardian angels, books, magazines and the net to my rescue, I began learning more and evolving...and began getting connected with artists wherever on earth they are :)....literally :)!
A dream came true when I learnt Enameling on Copper and Silver from two of the most celebrated Enamel Artists in India, Veenu Shah and Kana R.Lomror.
My first formal initiation into the professional realm of hand crafting jewelry using various media happened when I went to attend the Bead and Button Show at Milwaukee,US, in 2005.
I took classes with Jeri Warhaftig and Kim Hickox in lampworking( the art of making glass beads).Now,as member of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers, I look forward to exploring even wider horizons in the exotic world of hand crafting glass beads.
A class with the Master Loom artist, Don Pierce, had me learning the art of the weaving beads into pieces of art on a Bead Loom.
Andrea Alyse’s class was all about learning the tricky Peyote Stitch with the tiniest beads one could imagine, to create a charming bracelet.
With Kristy Walden, I learnt how to shape Silver Clay into beautiful pieces of handcrafted Silver jewelry that are essentially heirlooms to be celebrated and cherished forever.
Emi Fukushima helped me handle and coax Polymer Clay to create beautiful Mokume Gane and Ivory textures to create one-of-a kind pieces.
Paulette Beidenbender taught me how to bead crochet at her lovely bead store,Bead Needs in Milwaukee.It was fun like never before.
PatrickMartin,a Master Stained Glass artist in the UK, has, in his own way sensitized me to lines and color…and that holds me in good stead.
My ornate Wire Wrapping skills have been influenced by what Eni Oken and Matthew Nix have shared with me so generously.
It's a blessing and privilege to have learnt these skills and incorporate them in my work to create things I love more with each passing day :).
Creating jewelry using the language of my soul is a fascinating journey; it is indeed a passion that consumes. From finding interesting beads and other material to incorporate in my pieces to finding ways of putting them together,to miraculously connecting with the Masters and Artists who share the passion of the Universe and the magic of their skills unconditionally and then being blessed with finding friends and warm people who want just what’s been created ,it’s worth every bit.
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.
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.
