Jackie Taylor
Jewelry

As a child, my happiest hours were spent outdoors.



Armed with our "Little Golden" field guides, nets, and magnifying glasses, 
my sister and I became steeped in the visual and tactile vocabulary 
of beetles' legs, butterfly antennae and tadpoles hatching in our hands.



The floodgates of creativity were opened, and further honed by a university major in graphic design.
My ever expanding field of influence includes evolutionary biology, sacred geometry, insect architecture,
and the arts & crafts movement.



My design process begins with drawing and can include wax carving, casting,
constructing from sheet and wire, and kiln firing glass.
It is complexity of process and technique seeking that place of quiet stillness and perfection in classic simplicity of form. The mindset is one of constant striving, always pushing forward beyond the comfort zone of the known;
the results are what you see here.



My work has received numerous awards including London's DeBeers Diamonds International
and Tokyo's International Pearl Design Competition.
