(languages: Arabic, English)

Mawadda brings her experience to SilverWorks as a jewelry artist with a BFA from UMass Dartmouth. Her signature style uses sweeping architectural forms while incorporating found objects and cast items. Comfortable in the studio setting, her talent may only be eclipsed by her smile and her helpful spirit.

Artist Statement:

My fascination with the way people decorated their bodies with wearable art began as a child. I knew I wanted to become a jewelry designer the first time I held a torch and heard the sound of hot metal quench on the water.   My designs are mainly inspired by shapes and textures found in nature and by clean lines found in architecture.
