About me

Gender Female
Location Pennsylvania, United States
Introduction I work in bead embroidery, which is the art of taking beads and artifacts and sewing them into one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry. Taking inspiration from nature, I seek to incorporate a variety of textures and colors into the work, while attempting to arrange the materials in a way that creates a sense of movement and light. As an artist and family farmer, I find that the changing seasons impact my work. When the fields are green or the sunflowers are blooming, my palette reflects that landscape. When the dogs have an encounter with a porcupine, the quills sometimes find their way into a piece. These native elements, along with fossils, abalone and gems tie the work to our natural lives and history. Visit me at http://www.jodihorgan.etsy.com
