The 2008/09-gallery show “Fashion Warriors” a series created with markers and digital techniques. The series was based on historical research and extensive European travels. While exploring some of the great European museums specializing in decorative arts I was motivated and inspired to start designing jewelry again. I had designed jewelry at a previous time, with a long list of celebrities that appeared in music videos, TV shows and in magazines - wearing the costume jewelry. But gave it up to purse a graduate degree. Viewing the Victoria and Albert collection and the Hapsburg jewels “I knew I felt the need to bead once again. |
