Rena Koopman, was educated as an art historian at Vassar College. Koopman visited Japan in the early 1970s to learn metalworking techniques. Koopman was dazzled both by the workmanship she observed and by the Japanese design aesthetic, which has since been the dominant influence on her work. Koopman shared her passion for Asian culture with her late husband Rad Smith, a Japanese sword enthusiast. “I see his influence in subtle things,” says Koopman, “like the shape of a necklace, which looks like the stones in our Japanese garden, and the swing of some of my earrings, which are like miniature swords.” Koopman creates works of beauty and serenity that will endure. “Satisfaction comes to me from the way shapes fit together visually and technically,” says the artist, “from colors of gold meeting and overlapping from lines and gestures that reflect light on the surface of the metal.”
Provenance: Helen Drutt Gallery Philadelphia PA. The Robert L. Pfannebecker Collection. A private collection in Palm Beach Florida, USA.

About Monica Coscioni
My name is Monica. I live and work in Orvieto, where I was born. From the beauty of the places that surround me I draw the destination for art and creativity. From classical studies, the love for the origin and the plasticity of the forms. I have been creating jewels for over thirty years but I keep the traits of a little girl alive: I play, invent, create, amaze. I attended the "workshop" of a well-known Tuscan goldsmith and sculptor for six years but the real training was the direct experience in my atelier...
