Marilyn Brogan's Profile

About

My jewelry: My metal work follows the same process as my drawings: working with multiples of the same form, arranging and rearranging to create new patterns.

I enjoy movement in jewelry, especially in earrings and strive to keep even the largest earrings light as a feather.

Me: My name is Marilyn Brogan and I earned a BFA in sculpture from Virginia Commonwealth University. A few years later I was selected for the two year Core Program / fellowship at Penland School of Crafts in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. I was studying surface design and weaving at Penland until I took a metals class and fell in love. I currently reside in sunny San Diego and in addition to running my jewelry business, I teach art part time at an amazing charter school - High Tech High Media Arts.

Current Influences: Cacti, succulents, and exotic fruits found in my neighborhood, newly learned metals techniques, color theory and weather phenomena.
