Linda Ames

As a metalsmith, Linda sculpts unique, one of kind designs for her Tidepool series. Using pearls, natural stones, lots of texture and movement, her work often reflects her environment, the tidepools, ocean, butterflies that migrate through Laguna and tropical plants of Laguna Beach.  She has been in demand at juried, invitational shows and festivals and her work adorns people throughout the world. An award winning designer and painter, she considers all of her sculptural jewelry work “paintings”. She creates a sense of mystery, depth and beauty with her one of a kind designs. Her Circle of Life series is a unique use of carving her one of a kind designs in wax, using the Lost Wax casting method in sterling silver to bring the artwork to life. As a metalsmith, Linda sculpts unique, one of kind designs for her Tidepool series  .
