Natalia Khon is a Russian-born artist, who started designing jewellery when she was sixteen.
Considering it as a hobby she has gotten her diploma in finances. She moved to British Columbia in 2002.
This fine world of trees, flowers and wild life creatures became an inexhaustible source of inspiration for
Natalia. She gave up her education in finances to become a jeweller.
Over the years she demonstrated artistic intensity and technical diversity
through creating her collections using seed beads, clay, wire and the variety
of metal techniques. She has always been strongly attracted to developing special
techniques and finding new ways to express her ideas. Natalia enrolled into a Jewellery
Art and Design course at the Vancouver Community College.
New possibilities opened
new horizons for her. Since her graduation in 2005 the artist spends all time she can at
her drawing table and jewellery bench, developing her collection that is devoted to the
beautiful place she lives in. Her jewellery has been exhibited at the art and fashion shows
and available in a few galleries throughout the Lower Mainland.
In 2008 Natalia has found
a new application for her art. She enjoys teaching diverse silversmithing courses. This activity
allows her to share the joy of experimenting and developing the skills.
