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.
