Leonajeanne Designs

Victoria,  BC  

I began my current jewellery adventure approximately 25 years ago when I discovered working with metal. I have always been drawn to the beach and the water - to beachcomb or watch the waves or for sun and relaxation. During a trying life event, walking the beach became my touchstone; very calming, with a touch of discovery. The ocean, her creatures and the beaches began to inspire my work. Leonajeanne Designs is the result of this inspiration. I work mainly in bronze, creating organic ocean inspired pieces with added colour. I am mainly self taught, however I have taken many skills course and attend training regularly with my mentor.
