Process:

For the pewter jewelry Laurie uses miniature reproductions of her watercolor paintings 'set' in settings cast from her original clay models.

The sterling silver is handcrafted one piece at a time in Laurie's new metalworking studio.  She uses silver sheet and wire, a rolling mill, saw, torches, hammers and other fun tools.

Artist Statement
Having no formal art training has been a challenge and a blessing.  A challenge in having to create my art from my own imagination using non traditional techniques to achieve my goals.  The blessing in having the freedom to use my own ideas with no outside influence to achieve my goals using my imagination.  It's been a fun journey

My pewter jewelry is cast in pewter using models that I sculpted out of air dry clay.  The images are miniature reproductions of my original watercolor paintings.  My Silver (sterling and argentium) jewelry is hand made using traditional and made up silversmithing techniques such as fusing, soldering, texturizing and many other fun things.  The silver is only available at the art shows that I participate in.
