MARY ELLEN OCONNOR - WILLOW POND STUDIO

My life as an artist has always been intertwined with my love of nature and wildlife. My rural studio is surrounded by forests, gardens, fields and ponds, which inspire me on a daily basis. After earning a  BFA in Silversmithing from the School for American Crafts in Rochester, NY, I began my career as a metalsmith. Over the years, I have developed several techniques that allow me to combine metal, nature and color. One technique involves piercing sheet metal with a jeweler's saw, and adding hand colored resins. These resins are as tough as they are beautiful, which is critical when used in belt buckles. I also work with copper or silver to create wall pieces, boxes, cuffs, and earrings. I add my beloved flowers and animals by gilding with 24K gold. I use my torch to create beautiful patinas.

Feel free to contact me during this event. I'm happy to answer any questions about my artwork.
