Kirsten Denbow ~ Jewelry

Hand-fabricated contemporary sterling jewelry that is cut, formed, forged, folded, soldered, knotted, fused, woven & oxidized with patinas.

I paint the human form without reference using acrylics. My work is mostly realism, but with some distortion and a hyper bright palette for emphasis.

Hand drawn designs then acid etched on bronze copper and silver. Cold connected with copper rivets, hammered and fabricated stones and pearls are also added to create my work.

Clean lines characterize my hand-fabricated sterling silver and gold jewelry. Natural stones are cut or altered, stacked, and hinged. The resulting layers and textures emphasize color, movement, and shape.

Using the precious metals, we forge, emboss, fuse, texture, and weave the metals into unusual bead formations and multi-dimensional sculptural designs.

Acrylic on Canvas and Paper

Inspired by architecture and engineering, my jewelry is hand fabricated, forged, soldered, fold-formed, hinged and riveted to create tiny kinetic sculptures meant to be worn.

I design and make ladies and girls reversible clothing with a retro flair. Each piece is one or two of a kind. I blend printed organic and cotton fabrics together to make a piece of wearable art.
