Jen Mitchell Jewellery Artist

Artist Statement

Jen grew up on a small island in Northwest USA, and now resides in the beautiful town of Denmark, Western Australia. She is deeply inspired by the contrasting landscapes of her two homes - one ancient and arid, and the other young and verdant. Whether working in pure silver to create one-of-a kind pieces of wearable art, or working in oils and acrylics on canvas, Jen experiments with the rich texture and light of these different media which remind us to see the beauty in everyday life. Jen Mitchell's latest fine silver jewellery collection, the Operculum Series is cast from real operculum of Turban Shells (Lunella torquata) found between Walpole and Albany, and celebrates the strength and beauty of the South Coast of Western Australia.
