Carolyn Barker

 

Australia

Based on Australia’s Sunshine Coast, contemporary jeweller Carolyn Barker’s work reflects her local landscapes. Using shape and colour, her jewellery reveals the essence of a particular place at a moment in time. Carolyn predominately works with reclaimed precious metals, Australian gemstones, copper and the Japanese alloys shibuichi and shakudo, which she has developed a particular interest in along with their traditional patina (colouring) processes. Carolyn, who holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Community Development, has won several art awards for work in contemporary jewellery and has held her own solo exhibitions in Australia.
