Nancy MichelNancy Michel works with robust stones and precious metals, mostly gold, to create jewelry that elegantly refers to nature.My fascination with nature and with ancient man-made structures is reflected in the narrative quality of my sculptural jewelry. Petroglyphs, the remains of cliff dwellings, Stonehenge, the gnarled roots of a tree - these elements conjure images which appear in my work in recognizable and abstracted forms. Each piece is designed to impart a sense of spontaneity, movement, and complexity. I seek out new influences which challenge and inspire me as an artist; this growth and evolution resonates in my work. Images |
