Anna Clark

Artist’s Bio

Since completing studies at Kootenay School of the Arts, Nelson, British Columbia in 1999, Anna has established her jewellery making studio in nearby Rossland. Anna works full-time designing and making studio jewellery. Her work spans limited production runs, one of a kind works and commissioned pieces. She also finds time to continually experiment with new materials and techniques.

Strength of form and surface textures are the key elements in Anna's work. She enjoys the design process, making many sketches before starting work in the precious metal. Her inspiration often comes from patterns and shapes in nature and she is often to be found studying the plants in her garden.

Anna has won many awards for her work including the Grace Cameron Rogers Award from the Crafts Association of BC, the Steel Trophy for Best in Show from the Metal Arts Guild of Canada and funding from the Canada Council for the Arts. Anna exhibits regularly across Canada and internationally and enjoys entering her work in juried shows.
