Joan North
Biographical Info I have always meandered the creative path, mixing odd spices, taking entrepreneurial left turns, and sometimes just thinking on a different plane. I have maneuvered words, paints, plants, fibers, glass, stones and metal. I like shapes that remind me of life situations (my “Metaphors in Metal” series), starkly simple shapes, and combinations that draw your surprised eye. I love contrast in form and similarity in color. I dream of new designs, smiling in my sleep. My early jewelry education included workshops by internationally renowned instructors. Further study helped hone my skills and refine my own style that reflects upon life’s moments. I am a full time, award-winning silversmith whose jewelry is shown at galleries, museums and exhibits coast to coast, I am represented by various galleries across the country.
