About the artist
Meryl Shapiro creates handmade relics evoking and blending the ancient and contemporary. Her artwork and jewelry recall worldwide influences from the artist's travels, each piece imbued with a primitive yet refined elegance. More of an artist than a designer, each piece is spontaneous, a work in progress until it has reached its full potential. Her singular aesthetic is found in both her jewelry and artwork, which influence one another in turn and are developed in tandem. Meryl Shapiro works and lives in New York City.
