NEW & NOTEWORTHY

Dec 7

Christmas came early for us this year, with a feature of our beautiful collaboration with Irene Owens, the miniaturist painter, and Erika Stefanutti, the creator of our bespoke jewelry display case, in Frederic Magazine’s New & Noteworthy for December 2024!

I am so touched to be alongside other creative friends, including Sean McNanney of SAVED NY, who hosted a launch party for this special project. It means so much to be in such fine company— it is the company we keep that makes it all worth while.

“The Artist’s Eye, an imaginative collaboration between Art/artefact founder Audra Kiewiet de Jonge, miniaturist painter Irene Owens, and marbling maven Erika Stefanutti of Parvum Opus, features miniature paintings of women artists’ eyes set into antique jeweled brooches. Turning the concept of “the lover’s eye” (a Victorian token of courtship) on its head, these tiny portraits of artists from Berthe Morisot to Anni Albers celebrate the power of the female gaze. Each piece of jewelry is set into a beautiful handmade marbled-paper box by Parvum Opus, so it can be hung and displayed, or simply enjoyed when not being worn. (The marbled boxes are also sold on their own.)”
