Combining glass, gold, and silver, Beth creates contemporary,
elegant jewelry highlighted by the rainbow of colors and textures
inherent in her glass rods. Having been a studio metalsmith for
many years prior to focusing on glass, Beth's designs balance
all the elements in her materials, resulting in pieces that the
owner can wear with comfort and pleasure. Pure gold granules
and silver threads accent the surface of Beth's lampworked beads,
reflecting her signature style that has been recognized in publications
and juried exhibitions across the country.
"Exploring the qualities
of glass and color are what drive my work; using light and transparency
in surprising ways along with layering color on color helps me
to create unusual contemporary beads and jewelry. Inspiration
comes from my gardens, the ever-changing light on the ocean,
the seascapes that surround me…anywhere colors collide in
nature. Pure silver and gold accents add a final tactile quality,
allowing my pieces to be as interesting to touch and view as
they are to wear."
