Description
Easton jeweler and sculptor Kristin Merrill creates art that she says is “nurtured by creative expression and inspired by the seen and unseen aspects of life.” For the last 30 years shs has cultivated the traditional metalworking skills she gained in art school, and breaking the rules by melting, fusing, piercing, and burning materials to bring out their natural beauty.
Her jewelry combines precious gems, pearls, and metals with found objects.
“Ultimately my work is about transformation — my own, ongoing spiritual transformation and that of the work itself,” she says. “I love the process of taking diverse materials and creating something new and different, revealing the obvious as well as the mysterious.”
Kristin received a BFA in metals at the School of American Crafts at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Her studio and showroom is at Metro Art Studios in Bridgeport.
Greiser’s is proud to exhibit and offer her jewelry for sale.
