Passion for nature is the foundation of all of Mary Ellen O'Connor's work. Flora, fauna and nature, inspiring all her work, surround her rural studio. O'Connor creates jewelry, belt buckles and small containers in sterling silver, bronze, brass and copper using images from her own photographs. She also works with clients to design and create architectural etched glass for their homes or businesses. O'Connor loves to paint on silk, flooding her studio with color even in the middle of winter.
