About Abbi Marie
I am a jewelry artist based in Savannah, GA with a BFA in Jewelry from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Even from an early age I have been attracted to personal adornment and the practice of creating, I suppose you could say, like a moth to a flame.
Each piece is designed with a narrative in mind; some are standalone stories while others serve as chapters in a longer tale. The narrative I wish to tell informs the techniques I use to craft a piece. Sometimes that means carving wax into a fantasy creature, and other times it means soldering delicate wirework to mimic a spider's web.
There is always an element of storytelling in my work; I just write in metal instead of ink.
