Ann Culy
Ann Culy knew she wanted to be an artist from the age of eight, she grew up in a creative family environment filled with making and doing. "We were encouraged to go to galleries and do lots of work from home."
Ann gained a diploma from Ilam School of Fine Arts majoring in sculpture (1973), later coming to jewellery at Otago Polytech with a certificate in Craft & Design (1991). Ann's signature style encompasses rich organic forms predominantly made from pure gold and silver.
"I do use ancient techniques in my making, they still hold fast. I mix and pour my own ingots. The rings have no solder; they are constructed simply by forging, fusing, filing, burnishing, and stamping. I like that they can easily be returned to the metal they came from with the melt of a flame..........I want to make rings that encompass a story, become one with the wearer. Intimate, yet clearly of the person."
