Deeply influenced by the nature of the Pacific Northwest, Eileen O'Shea's work has many references to the colors and textures of lichens and fungi.Eileen O'Shea enjoys incorporating natural forms and colors into wearable art sculptures in an attempt to convey a mood or feeling in her work. Photography helps Eileen O'Shea with this process, so she takes lots and lots of pictures.
Eileen O'Shea's jewelry is colorful, voluptuous and elegant; the structure is simple, full and chic, which contains Eileen O'Shea's aesthetics and fashion attitudes, and also reveals the independent aesthetic views and artistic lifestyle of the new-age women, which is wonderfully fascinating. Each piece is unforgettable and enchanting. The inspiration comes from the different textures and colors of lichens and fungi in the Pacific Northwest.
