Orchid Presents: Cynthia Clearwater Email the Artist
   

In my work there is an overarching theme of elegant lineand simple geometry. I take my inspiration from my materials and this creates an eclectic body of work. I prefer to follow tangents, to discover new problems to solve, to play with materials and techniques rather than to create variations of the same piece. Each piece of jewelry is unique.I have more design ideas than time to execute them so I keep my passion strong by exercising my creativity. I cannot wait to get to my studio every morning to begin the process of transforming sheets of metal and loose gemstones into wearable art. I am thrilled that my art is walking around in this world, framing the faces and adorning the hands of those who value artistic vision and the skill it takes to make an idea into a physical object.
