January 2015: New Collection by Jennifer Curtis

We are pleased to present a new collection by renowned Navajo silversmith Jennifer Curtis.
Born and raised on the Navajo reservation near Winslow, Arizona, Curtis learned to work metal from her father, Thomas Curtis, Sr., himself an award-winning silversmith. Today, she lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico and is the most respected Navajo female silversmith working in a traditional style. “My work is an extension of my history, my family,” she says. “My biggest influence is my master, my teacher, my father. His recent passing has brought special meaning to each swing of the hammer, each design I create. My family is the center of my existence; I make work that is balanced and proportionate always with a physical center that mirrors the spiritual.
