Lucia Antonelli interviewed by Patina Gallery

Northern California jewelry artist Lucia Antonelli presents Boogie Woogie Beauty in May at Patina Gallery. The exhibition continues the Season of the Soul, Patina’s tribute to the distinct four seasons of the raw beauty of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Few makers can create pieces that are equal parts keepsake and ornament, yet that is described Antonelli’s pieces that range from braided strands, vibrant beadwork and feathery tassels. For this collection, she makes liberal use of light and colorful Bakelite. She paused in her studio recently for a conversation about her work and new collection.
