STONE BIRD DANCING
Lois Young
Jewelry
I am a resident of Bluff, via Seattle, Chicago and the Willamette Valley of Oregon. I've had a life-long passion for stones: the Earth beauty they reflect, and the power they possess. Before I came to live here, I made regular pilgrimages to this beautiful high desert for over 20 years until it drew me here completely; here where that incredible stone beauty and power lays naked everywhere, to drink in visually, to walk across or to be contained in it's soaring walls.
I have a background in Fine Art / Master's Degree from Art Institute of Chicago over the past 30 years, painting and sculpture have slowly given way to making body decorations both for their beauty and for what the properties of the stones bring to the wearer.
I am a long time practioner of healing arts: RN, Reiki Master and Craniosacral Therapist. The promotion of deep health, balance and expansion of one's life experience has long been my focus.
The making of beautiful and / or balancing / nourishing adornment is for me a delightful combination of:
1) play,
2) putting myself into relationship with this Earth beauty in it's myriad forms, and
3) offering objects of delight to bring their beauty and energy to the wearer.
