About the Artist

Home Jewelry Beads Portfolio Policies Blog

    Let me introduce myself! I am Lori Bouchard, an Artist/Jewelry Designer who very happily resides with my husband and three children in beautiful Connecticut, USA.
     My goal is to let my art reveal the innate beauty that is possessed by every woman and to have their eyes turned to awareness of that beauty.
      By mixing old, and sometimes ancient, techniques with new innovations, I am able to express the diversity and complexity of woman and reflect that uniqueness in my pieces.
     How did this all begin? Well,.....a few years ago, I discovered how to make tiny sculpted roses using a "clay" mixture of white bread and Elmer's glue! From there, I discovered polymer clay, which was a much better medium for these. This led to a desire/need to make these roses into beautiful pieces of wearable art. So...my journey into jewelry design began!
     I have since incorporated more skilled techniques into my repertoire of design ....wirework, both freeform and chain weaving, metalsmithing, wire filigree, glass bead lampwork, glass kiln forming and fusing, Precious metal Clay sculpture, with more to learn each day!

Artist Statement

"May you become as the waves of one sea, stars of the same heaven, fruits adorning the same tree, roses of one garden..." –Abdu’l-Baha’

We, as women, are each as a perfect rose in the garden. Every one carries its own splendor and its own contribution to the success and wonder of the garden. Each is its own miracle; unique and undeniably perfect. The truth of beauty lies in our diversity.

Beauty is internal, non-cultural, and timeless. Beauty is woman.

Allow your outward expressions to mirror your spirituality and your true self. Be aware of the strength in the ancientness of Woman, while also showing pride in the accomplishments and stature of Woman in the modern world.

Be your own rose in the garden.
Be Beautiful.
