Diana Kirkpatrick
I’ve been fascinated with weaving, jewelry and jewelry making since childhood. In the 1970s while working toward my PhD in chemistry, I started an exploration of lapidary arts, silversmithing, and casting.
A long term love affair with Middle Eastern dance began as the result of a chance encounter at a chemistry conference. For several years I danced professionally and operated a business making costumes and accessory pieces using my beading and jewelry-making skills. I’ve now returned to my first love – handmade jewelry.
My Website: http://www.dianakirkpatrick.com, my e-commerce site. I also have a Gallery of some of my designs at www.dianakirkpatrick.com/gallery
Visit my Etsy store: http://www.dianakirkpatrickart.etsy.com for a selection of my handmade art jewelry and carefully selected vintage costume jewelry pieces.

My goal is to create a work of art whether my design is worn or displayed in some other manner. Many of my designs are inspired by nature, but I love the glitter of gemstones and crystals and include them whenever I can.
