Julie is a wire-wrap jewelry artist working with semi-precious stones, pure copper and sterling silver wire.
Her handmade pieces range from complex to simple and swirly. She never uses any kind of adhesives, soldering or heat of any kind.
Some of her inspiration comes from nature and she uses the metal wires to create, leaves, trees and even mountains against the backdrop of a beautiful stone. Other times just creating something elegant is desirable.
While she pulls from her experience as a painter to help with balance, color choices and overall aesthetic, she generally allows the piece to speak to her and just goes with the flow.
Above all creating is how she keeps her sanity, and a bit of her heart is built into each piece. The journey is for her, the end result is for you.
