Talitha Greene
Jewelry & multimedia Artist
I've been creative from early childhood. In elementary school, art was always my favorite class. At home I learned to sew from my mother, crochet from my aunt and the love of wood working from my father. I was very lucky to have their influence in my life. Around the age of twelve I took my first class in jewelry construction. That began a life long love of making jewelry. Painting, drawing, sewing, crafts and photography are some of the other things I did to keep my creative drive satisfied in high school. I have never stopped trying new things including stained glass, acrylic painting and lapidary work(stone cutting).
Now, I work with gold, silver, copper, brass, precious and semiprecious stone, stained glass and lots of other things to create my jewelry and multimedia artwork. My style is a mix of eclectic and contemporary. I like to incorporate geometric shapes, soft curves and clean lines. Most of my jewelry includes one or mor gemstones. I like to make bold and dramatic jewelry. All of my work is made by hand in my studio using time-honored fabrication methods. Most of my work is on of a kind or limited additions.
