Laura Bracken - Fine Artist
Member Since: 10/02/2007
Although I am a published writer and photographer and a former musician, I found my true passion when I started making jewelry. I have no niche to my designs (but a lot of people think they can 'spot' my pieces as recognizably Laura Bracken) because I hate treading over familiar ground… so I create, then move on, trying new mediums as well as new techniques.
I create original and one-of-a-kind jewelry designs with the intention of showing the beauty in dichotomy and the surprise of the unexpected. Aside from visual aesthetics, I'm very aware of and work with the balance, movement, comfort, and sometimes even the sound of each piece.
I try to have as much 'input' into a piece as possible so, and although I use a lot of components from other artists I will also do my own lampwork, polymer clay, art clay silver, metalsmithing, and more.
I feel extremely lucky to be able to have a creative outlet that gives me this much pleasure and to find that others feel my jewelry speaks to them too. Jewelry as art AND communication.
