My name is JeaneMargherite and I have been an artist the full length of my life, with an incredibly diverse upbringing in the art environment, from interior and landscape design, commercial art, floral design, painting, mosaics, and drawing to metal-smithing and jewelry conception. The visual and decorative medium of jewelry creation is where I have found my current life joy.
My treasures are an extension of my personality, grafted from my bohemian background, in all its faceted, eclectic and expressive style. Although I work extensively with gemstones, and their metaphysical properties, it is in metals and found objects that I currently shine. I believe that it is nature and life that needs to be expressed in our current course and my work reflects that belief most deeply. Working from the inside out, deliberately and consciously employing both what I have learned as well as what I feel to be true is how my creations come to life. My inner spirit is the undisputed project artist in my work, and she is a fantastical boss to work with!
I create the extraordinary from the common place. From the very beginning of my time working with reclaimed jewelry components (age 10) the process of transforming something seemingly unwanted into something fabulous, struck me as magical! I am currently working with a portion of reclaimed objects in every single piece I create, to lessen the load on the earth and to recreate beautiful from the forgotten. I have the uncanny ability to gather separate components that may seem regular or run or the mill, and put them together in a way that will express your very personality!
The feeling of accomplishment that is revealed when I have created from components that have been discarded, ignored, its beauty forgotten; and then transform those components into a lovely piece of wearable art….is simply exhilarating!! What keeps me grounded in my work is the desire to create affordable art, which people are astounded to find, sometimes gives them a giggle, and that they love to wear!
