Jeannette Fossas [MFA 1984, Jewelry + Metalsmithing]

I use classical proportions, harmony and balance to create jewelry that transcends fashion. My modular approach to design, inspired by the metamorphosis found in nature, adds value to pieces as they can be experienced in a myriad of ways, through constant transformation. Asymmetry, movement and the unexpected focal point are recurring themes which add depth and surprise the observer.
