Catherine Laing's imagination and creativity are the guiding
forces behind her fabricated jewelry. Using gold and silver, she fashions the
wire and sheet by bending, pounding, sawing, soldering and polishing. "My
goal is to work with precious metals and gems, designing wearable pieces of
art."
Now located in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, (since 1980) Catherine has seen her talent mature after graduating from Cornell College in 1975 with a degree in Art Metals. Strongly influenced by travel and study in Scandinavia and the American Southwest, she combines the two styles into her original designs. "I love stones and the challenge presented by designing around one or more of them."
Catherine's success and growing reputation are recognized through regional and national gallery representation. Over thirty years, Edgewood Orchard Gallery in Fish Creek, Wisconsin, has sold her jewelry, but mainly you'll find her in the Pagoda, working in the back. Unique stones, meticulous workmanship, and high artistic achievement characterize Catherine's one-of-a-kind creations. "I'm thrilled to see one of my pieces on someone, and happy to know it is being worn and appreciated."
