Immediate Past President of San Diego Chapter: |
About the Artist Artist’s Statement Dramatically alluring yet signally protective natural organic forms inspire me, such as the radiating shape of the anemone, the sensuous curves of the nudibranch, and the concave surfaces of the cactus. I hope to create jewelry which captures the delicate balance of the bold and sculptural with the sensual and graceful. I exploit the technique of hammer forming which allows me to "listen" to the properties of the metal, as well as carving and fabricating, to fully utilize the metal’s three dimensional potential. Company Bio Invited to exhibit nationally in both galleries and museums including California Center for the Arts Escondido Museum, Oceanside Museum of Art and The Athenaeum, LaJolla, she has received several awards, such as above mentioned Centurion Emerging Designer Award, the Draper Award for Outstanding One Person Exhibition at the Delaware Center for Contemporary Art, and finalist in the American Couture Jewelry Awards and Niche Awards. Her work has received national and international consumer and trade press coverage, from Metalsmith, Lapidary Journal, JCK, Brides Magazine and most recently Ornament (all USA), to Jewelry World Review (Thai), Fashion Quarterly (CAN), Australian Vogue and KAREN Magazine (AUS). Alexandra designs and creates dramatic organic and sculptural jewelry, serving today’s highly competitive market with the highest standards of quality and business ethics. |
