Guild member since 2008

Laura has been creating metal jewelry in her studio in south Louisiana for almost 10 years and still finds it almost unbelievable that beautiful jewelry that is easy to wear can evolve from and sheets of metal. It happens through experimentation, imagination, and determination in order to shape the metal into a form that is right for each piece. She is inspired by ancient metal patterns and designs, especially those used to produce protective clothing in another time and place. The patterns used in clothing were strong by necessity, with impressive texture but also beautiful and fluid, moving with the body- qualities that are shared with the classic jewelry Laura creates.
