Kathryn Carlyle works in three very different and diverse mediums: painting; collage;
and metal fabrication. Though the artist makes the process look so easy; behind the
apparent spontaneity is careful and ceaseless experimentation. By working in these
three areas, Kathryn has been able to create some incredible designs with
techniques that overlap from each medium.

Earlier in the artist’s career, she lived in Brazil. While in Brazil her interests in gem stones were peaked. After living for many years in
the artistically rich cities of New York and Chicago she relocated to the more tempered climate of south Florida where she pursues
her passion on a full time basis.
Kathryn's work has been shown throughout the United States, Far East and Europe; and is currently on display and included in public
and private collections.
Kathryn primary focus and recognition is her jewelry designs and metal work. Her unique designs incorporate rich textured surfaces,
colorful vibrant gem stones, and uniquely tailored precious metals. Kathryn accents many of her designs with unusual materials in
order to create a new look. In the artist’s own view she believes that "the pieces of jewelry I create are meant to be savored and
handled. Each piece I create has a rich heritage in the materials; it is my desire to enhance and embellish the materials by adding my
own unique creativity to their resulting designs."
Kathryn maintains member affiliations with: The Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG); The Boca Raton Artist’s Guild; Palm
Beach Watercolor Society; The Delray Art League; Women In The Visual Arts (WITVA); Florida Craftsmen, Inc.; Broward Art Guild; and
the Women’s Jewelry Association. She has played active roles in several of these organizations. The SNAG Conference, the Tucson
Gem Show and Conference, and the Antique & Period Jewelry & Gemstone Conference are annual events Kathryn attends enabling
her to study further amongst authorities of the jewelry industry.
