Karen Bachman

Teaches at Liloveve

Karen Bachman has professionally worked with Tiffany & Co. as well other major fine jewelry designers and now produces her own jewelry. With a fine arts degree in sculpture, her work is influenced by Brancusi, Noguchi, and Eva Hesse. The application of traditional techniques combined with modern, industrial materials has always intrigued her. Karen hand carves bold, sculptural forms in various acrylic resins or wood. The pieces are then enhanced with precious metal leaf, sterling silver inlay, or semi-precious gemstone beads; then finished by either polishing or sand-blasting. Her goal is to create wearable sculpture that is both luminous and elegant.
