Michael and Katherine's home studio is a hand built solar powered adobe located near the historic village of Abiquiu (a bee Q), New Mexico. The juniper and chamisa studded hills and the Chama river valley below, once inspired artist Georgia O’ Keeffe who chose to live and work there. The landscape is an important backdrop in their creative life. They feel the expression of art is an attempt to more deeply understand the world around them. By looking more closely into what they see they hope to reveal the patterns in nature and how it unifies their relationship to art. Just as Buffalo grass, cactus and juniper work together to form a harmony in their landscape they use metal, fire and stone in an effort to evoke a similar harmony.

The process of jewelry making is for them purely collaborative. There is something special that happens when they work together which sharpens the relationship to their art. They do all of their own silver work using traditional fabrication from sheet sterling silver, soldering, hand finishing/polishing, patination and gemstone setting.

Their intention from the beginning has not only been to make jewelry for adornment, but instead to try and step beyond what is expected and make designs which surprise their audience with something new or innovative and in this way invite them into the creative process.

Tresa Vorenberg Goldsmiths will be showcasing the designer jewelry of Evy in her exhibition, “Expressions in Passion.” Join us in welcoming Evy for a reception at 656 Canyon Road on June 1st from 5-7pm. Show runs through June 24th.

Evy is a designer and creator of unique pieces of fine jewelry wrought in karat golds and sterling silver sumptuously accentuated with precious gemstones and pearls. All of her jewelry is hand-crafted and as a result no two pieces are ever alike. Using a creative process that is hers alone the resulting works of art are truly dramatic and timeless.

Inspired by her mother who had the rare distinction of being one of the few female diamond setters during the 20’s and 30’s, Evy’s vision and talent for creating these exciting one of kind pieces emerged at an early age. As her work progressed, she refined her skill with rigorous study at The School of Visual Arts in New York City and at the C. Bauer Studio.

Evy's designs can now be found in collections throughout the world.
