Jewelry with a View is an exhibition featuring Heidi Lowe’s Landscape Jewelry Collections. This work creatively shows how nature is an important source of inspiration. In one collection, she uses silver sheet metal as her canvas and tools as her pencil to make landscape drawings of the local area. The markmaking is made with an engraver, stamps, hammers and roller printing into silver. Her other collection is fully based on the stones and their unique colors, patterns, striations and forms. She marvels at their beauty, and how they are formed in the earth but often look like nature above its surface, like little paintings of clouds, tree branches, or landscapes.
