Erin Hicks, hand-wrought wire jewelry

 

Erin Gonzalez- Hicks is a Chester Springs based  jewelry artist  and instructor, who has been creating “ Hand-Wrought “ wire jewelry for the last  12 years.

She is a contributing writer for Step by Step Wire Jewelry magazine, and was  featured on the cover of the Spring 2006 issue.  Her work has been recently published in the new book titled,” Beadazzled : Where Beads and Inspiration Meet.

Erin ,who is a “closet amateur anthropologist”,  loves to study tribal cultures , their rituals and ornamentation, and takes every opportunity to scour the globe  incognito as her alter-ego “Mate Hari”….. in search of special elements from unique peoples to incorporate into her work.  She feels that the joy of  personal adornment is in the creation of a treasured mandala that tells  a story  about its contents.  Erin ’s work is available via her web site: www.mateharidesigns.com
