My name is Kelly, and I am a jewelry artist living out in Northern California. I’m never one to sit still when it comes to art. I always need to keep my hands busy with some kind of project! Whether it’s designing jewelry, knitting or something else; I’m always keeping busy...and when I’m not creating I’m busy chasing after my three little ones!
A huge majority of my artwork is made from Metal Clay. It’s exactly what it sounds like! A special clay-like material that is made from very tiny metal particles. The clay is then fired and it sinters together to make a solid piece. It comes in all kinds of materials from Fine Silver, Sterling Silver, to Bronze and Copper.
In 2008, I completed the Rio Grande PMC Certification for teaching Metal Clay techniques held at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts. Shortly after, I started basic Fabrication at Revere.
Most of my designs are inspired by Mother Nature, which is also the inspiration for my business name. When you sense a rain storm is impending because it ‘smells like rain’, well that’s called Petrichor!
I love designing and creating, and I hope I can make something you’ll find extra special too.
