Retrieved from the Enamel Arts Foundation website: [https://www.enamelarts.org/winged-brooch/] According to the artist, Winged Brooch I, part of her “Fragment Series,” represents a significant breakthrough in her work. Combining basse-taille enamel with sterling silver and gold, she created an expansive, rhythmic form with vivid color and richly varied textures. [IR 06/25/2025]
