Grace Your Home With Beautiful Art Made In America
Shari Keith
I am a collector of junk who finds inspiration in rediscovering small bits of things that others might not even notice or think to appreciate. Odd shaped pieces of metal found rusting in the road, beautiful pieces of vintage jewelry long ago broken, and humble beach pebbles perfectly polished by the sea are the types of things I have collected since I was a young girl. I am especially intrigued by textures that have been created by the passage of time: patina, rust, and even missing parts. With age comes character. I combine these items in ways that I find pleasing or meaningful. Each of my pieces is unique, and if you look closely, each has a story to tell.
In addition to creating jewelry, I am a teacher who enjoys helping students experience creativity through synthesis. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, and a Master's degree in Education.
