Tamara Kay

I am a metalsmith in the truest sense. I love to manipulate the precious materials I work with by dapping, hammering, heating, twisting and sculpting to create textures and images that to me are like the landscapes I see all around me.I love to select unusual and collectable rare gemstones to embellish these "landscapes in metal" as a flower, a rock, a drop of water or some Suessian plant can be a miracle when happened upon and truly observed. Because I am a woman, I understand how this translates to the decoration and embellishment of the female figure. I understand the beauty that is drawn out from within when one wears something that is treasured and which has a sacred connection with the wearer. I try to imbue this spirit into each and every piece I create.
