Chi Cheng Lee
Artist’s
Bio
Chi
creates her line of jewellery for the purpose of designing a
contemporary look, which exposes beauty through the simplicity of form
and texture. Her jewellery reflects the integration of past and present
cultures with a twist of East meets West. Chi grew up in an artistic
family with her father as a classic Oriental Watercolours on silk
painter and a sister who indulged in contemporary fine art. Creating
and sharing art together was a natural and stimulating interest in
their daily lives. Her inspirations combine her traditional Asian roots
and her metropolitan New York City upbringing.
Sterling
silver is the main material that Chi uses for her jewellery with some
addition of karat gold, gold-filled, as well as accents of
semi-precious stones and pearls. Most of her pieces are made in a
combination of different techniques such as casting, fabrication,
forming, roller printing, wire weaving and crocheting with beads. The
finish on her pieces is available in high polish, engraved textures and
oxidized black.
