Biography

To design her jewelry, Roberta Williamson uses “low-tech” processes such as soldering and casting. Her pieces often combine humorous imagery with text and reflect family relationships and shared interests. Williamson and her husband David, who is also an artist, draw inspiration for their work from their daughter, Lauren, and from working in the garden.
