Barbara Westwood




EVERYWHERE ARTWEAR
Like her jewelry, Barbara Westwood is strong and clear about her work and her purpose. The expression “Don’t be small” guides her life and her jewelry. Not afraid to follow the very distinctive beat of her own dream, she confesses to loving big, bold beautiful shapes and admits that in truth she designs for herself alone. When a piece is right, she says, it flows out of her without effort. Her followers call her jewelry “Everywhere Artwear”. And it fits. Rich colors make up her palette, as one would expect, and Ms. Westwood is drawn to citrine, peridot, rhodolite and pink tourmaline. The gemstones are set in dramatic shapes. Arrows are a consistent motif, expressing the clarity of direction of the artist.
