What begins as something ordinary can become sculptural, seductive, playful, and entirely unexpected.
With an eye for finding unexpected beauty and a fascination with transforming materials, Kate creates designs that invites us to look a little closer.
POTENTIAL IS EVERYWHERE
Inspired by zippers, plastic-wrap, paper, feathers, and the wonders she finds at the local 99 cent stores, she creates jewelry, sculpture and headdresses that bring an enduring sense of beauty and astonishment. Each piece is a conversation between her hands and the materials she works with, combining meticulous techniques with signature innovations developed through decades of practice.
Kate’s Zipper Jewelry has been featured in numerous fashion and design magazines in America and internationally. Her Zipper Jewelry is exhibited in galleries and boutiques across America and is included in many private collections. Kate’s first large scale wall-mounted zipper sculpture greets visitors at the Renaissance New York Midtown Hotel in New York City.
