Loess Hills Heart and Soul
Correctionville, IA
Artist Statement: I live in the Loess Hills, and these “Hills” have inspired my work using silver to create a signature pendant in fine silver, all hand fused and hammered. Each piece is unique, featuring the hills “angle of repose” and a yucca accent. I also use natural gemstones to create bead jewelry.
Artist Bio: I live and work in the Loess Hills of Western Iowa. I am fortunate to live along the Little Sioux River south of Correctionville. A lot of my artwork is inspired by the “Hills” and their beautiful vistas! I am a retired wildlife biologist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. My work allowed me to work with the landowners living in the Loess Hills Landform. Their appreciation for the Loess hills inspired these landowners to work to conserve their properties! The Loess Hills inspire me to create art in watercolor, silversmithing and gemstone jewelry.
Medium: Silversmithing, Watercolor, Gemstone Jewelry
