Thank you for your interest in Christensen Studio Jewelry.
Glass, enamel and wire jewelry are my passions. I believe in organic design;
that a large part of succeeding with an art piece comes from allowing the
medium to express itself naturally. My job as the crafter is to know when to
give, and when to give room. My favorite moments are those when the natural
process, the drip of glass, the unexpected color as enamel reacts in the kiln,
creates magic, and materials become jewelry.
That which was once just a possibility, a potential made up of singular
ingredients, is now changed. It has new meaning and a new story to tell. In
this way I am a conduit for the story. I create an opportunity for meaning
beyond simple creation.
A new jewelry design is the outline of a map, and the memories, the real
treasures, are then made by the women who feel called to wear a particular
design.
Like all things created by artists, there are influences that come from
personal background that flavors their work. Mine comes from family ties to
Alaska and travels to Europe and Australia, as well as the great people in my
life and seemingly endless beauty in nature.
