My work is born through process and crafted with care and attention to detail. Using layers of mixed metals, riveted connections, geometry and texture, I strive to honor the beauty of the human form and joy of the human spirit. My most recent work explores movement and the way kinetics enhances beauty and tactile pleasure for the wearer. I allow my work to evolve organically through time as curiosity and intuition support my growth as an artist. My mission is to create collectible art pieces designed to inspire, be worn and enjoyed by people in all of life’s stages.

Artist bio:
Shira has been a lifelong artist and creative, falling in love with the experience of adding beauty to the world using just her imagination and her hands through all the decades of her life. After completing medical training, raising three children and settling into her career as a pediatrician, Shira picked up a torch at a local metal arts school in 2019 where she discovered metals as her current passion and medium for creative expression. Enamored with the art of adornment, Shira approaches her work with enthusiasm and mindfulness, leading to a collection that is thoughtful, cohesive and entirely unique. When not covered in silver dust, she can be found with babies in her arms and a stethoscope around her neck, hiking through the forest and enjoying life with her family.
