My name is Kim Ries with Creative Eye Studio. I have been creating jewelry for several years, but have enjoyed being creative all my life. I took drawing and painting classes in high school and college, but had a long span of non-productivity. In the late 90’s I rediscovered my interest in art with photography, rubber stamps, collage and altered art. I always purchased beads when something pretty caught my eye and I would hoard them for future art projects like tags or handmade books. Even when I was not creating jewelry, I was buying beads.

I find inspiration for my designs in different color combinations, items found in nature, earthy elements, etc. I would describe my design style as elegant, feminine and classic. I like to use sterling silver and copper, natural gemstones, furnace glass, fresh water pearls and Swarovski crystal in my designs.

I love photography and use a Nikon digital SLR. And it’s a lot of fun to combine my love for photography with the jewelry. Two art forms in one!
