Penguin's Nest - Donna Fuchs - About Donna
Donna FuchsDonna Fuchs: Artist’s Statement I grew up in a family of artists and was exposed to constant creativity: gospel music singers, painters, seamstresses and jewelry-makers. From a very early age, the arts were a natural way for me to express myself and see the beauty in life. I studied art at the University of Tennessee in Nashville and began my creative journey with painting. From there I moved to contemporary quilt designing and quilt making, which led to years of designing specialty fabric items for many interior design firms. My artistic evolution led me to jewelry, and in this I found my true passion. When I couldn’t find jewelry that fit my style, I began to design my own pieces. For the past seven years I have designed and made bracelets, necklaces, pendants and earrings. I have always loved unique jewelry, and I enjoy wearing and sharing my designs. My work involves lampworking, wire wrapping, silversmithing, cold connecting and oxidizing. I am a certified instructor in the Precious Metal Clay (PMC) process, and teach various art jewelry-making techniques in my home studio and other educational venues. With this creative outlet, I am always discovering and learning something new! |
