Karen WestArtist's Statement
My goal, in creating jewelry, is to celebrate nature because nature has always been an important part of my life. I know that others are equally as touched by it - the ocean, the forest, the wildflowers or treasures picked up along a sandy beach. I work to find textures and patterns around me that will translate well into beautiful adornments. I use objects such as sea urchin shells, leaves and flowers to get true-to-life images and textures in the silver pieces that I create. I hope that those who wear my creations will be reminded of our fundamental link with nature.
A word about my jewelry business name – EggTooth Originals. The name was suggested by a special friend. An Eggtooth is a little horn on an un-hatched bird’s beak that helps it break out of its shell. For me, the name symbolizes hatching out as a professional jewelry artist.
