TITANIUM, STERLING & AMETHYST BROOCH
Marty Reynard wrote “As a native New Yorker, I was exposed to the jewelry arts at an early age by my mother, a jewelry maker who worked primarily in copper and silver.
I immigrated to Canada in 1968, and received my Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Queen’s University at Kingston, Ontario.
TITANIUM & SILVER EARRINGS
My interest in metal sculpture and design led me into the jewelry arts following graduation.
Working in many metals, with a specialty in titanium, my work took a very untraditional approach and incorporated a wide variety of materials. My studio represents a laboratory where I get to run aesthetic experiments on a daily basis.
These experiments, fortunately, are endless, and the surprises and the discoveries that they yield provide an ongoing impetus to keep my work constantly changing.
SILVER & GOLD PENDANT
Within the field of jewelry design I find a meeting place of art, chemistry, engineering and the magic of alchemy (i.e. “the transformation of that which is common into that which is precious”).
TITANIUM PENDANT
I have come to refer to myself as a “maker of aesthetic objects” and I believe there is no such thing as “precious metals”–only precious objects”.
