From an early age, I focused on painting and drawing, with my work composed mainly of still lives and portraits. The components of creating a composition were drilled into my head during my adolescent, enabling me to breakdown the natural and manmade landscapes in front of me.  I don’t see buildings or cars, and instead I see lines, values, shapes, textures, foregrounds and backgrounds.  In my jewelry, I replicate this simplified idea of what fills our space into pieces of jewelry. I aim to make pieces that appear different from every angle, creating illusions to question what is really in front of us.

I graduated with a BFA from the University of Michgan in 2012 and moved to Miami finding my place in a studio called Jewelry Creations Workshop. I have participated in many local markets in Miami as well as the Coconut Grove Arts Festival in 2020. I also teach private and group class at Jewelry Creations Workshop, so send me a message if you would like to learn! When I am not working on TashaFelice, I spend most of my time trying to get my dog to snuggle with me.
