The Beauty of Ecology with Art

May 5th, 2009 | No Comments

Hi, my name is Catherine and I’m an artist based out of Vancouver, British Columbia. catherine-chan-01a

I work mainly with photography but love working with my hands, which is why I love to make jewelry. Several years ago I moved to Vancouver to start school at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Prior to that I was working in Ontario as a soil scientist.

I have a background in biogeography and soil science and I find nature’s beauty really inspiring. catherine-chan-03_abra

I designed some of my jewelry lines to combine ecology with art, so for the BC Treasures series of necklaces, along with the jewelry I have included descriptions of the ecosystems that inspired me. catherine-chan-01

My hope is that people wearing the jewelry will be reminded of how beautiful our natural surroundings are, and appreciate the importance of biodiversity and sustainability
