This week’s highlight is Carmel Boerner ()👩‍🎨
Carmel is a Penticton-based jewellery artist whose work is inspired by the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, celebrating imperfection, graceful aging, and the maker’s hand. Using rusted and discarded objects, she transforms the remnants of decay into one-of-a-kind wearable art.
A graduate of Vancouver Community College’s Jewellery Art and Design Program, Carmel’s work has been exhibited across Canada, the U.S., and Europe. Each of her pieces invites the wearer to connect with the beauty of impermanence and the traces of time.
