There’s something special about handmade jewelry that is well designed and built with attention to detail.
For me, to approach each piece as I would a canvas, and then to give-in to the silversmithing process without hurry or impatience, is to fully engage with the object I’m making…it is to let the piece be important enough to deserve my time and focus.
Life in coastal Nova Scotia gives me my inspiration. Life here is less rushed and full of natural beauty. Each piece is, in a way, of here. But each object I make also takes a small part of me with it when it goes.
I grew up in New York and studied Fine Art and Art Criticism there. I pursued my Art practice as a full time painter (and silversmith on the side) for many years before stopping to pivot. In order to create an independent livelihood, I stopped my Art practice and started an importing business for midcentury Danish design furniture and art, which I ran out of Boston’s north shore area for 15 years. I sold the business in 2019 to move to the rural coast of Nova Scotia’s south shore. Here, I’m pursuing my longtime love of jewelry design and silversmithing as an ex-pat in beautiful Shelburne, Nova Scotia.
“I almost never wear jewelry, but this I wear all the time. Lorin’s work feels like my experience of Nova Scotia.”
