I strive to make beautiful, highly functional work that finds an intimate niche in people’s lives. It is shaped for inherent harmony and pleasing lines; the form inspires the surface and the surface enhances the form. The decoration is often a reflection of my love of the natural world and the belief in the restorative power of being outside. It is my desire to share the pleasure I take in noticing my environment and call people’s attention to nature so they will value it as I do.

I’m an architect and artist and my work reflects the diversity of my ancestry, my urban experiences, and my new home in the countryside. I studied art history and architecture and I’m continuously influenced by the connections of art, science, and mathematics that surround us daily. As a jewelry artist, I continue my study – on a more intimate and personal scale – of form, space, and materials.

I have created jewelry since childhood, but established my business, Lawrenz Jewelry in 2003.  With my jewelry, I find gratification in bringing together unexpected components. My current collections feature unusual gemstones, glass, and colorful metal pieces that I upcycle from decorative tins.
