About Us

Hi, I’m Eli Collins-Brown, a jewelry artist based in Cullowhee, North Carolina. I specialize in creating wearable art with polymer clay and mixed media, drawing inspiration from the natural world and the vibrant landscapes of the American Southwest. My designs are abstract yet deeply rooted in my love for nature’s textures, colors, and forms.

Raised in Denver, Colorado, I come from a family rich in artistic and musical traditions. Summers were spent exploring the Rocky Mountains, and the canyons of the Southwest instilled a lasting connection to the outdoors, which continues to influence my work. My Celtic heritage and fascination with ancient cultures also inspire my creative process.
In my home studio, I immerse myself in the creative process, often starting with colors and letting the designs evolve organically. Creating is my outlet for relaxation, reflection, and self-expression. Whether listening to audiobooks, podcasts, or instrumental music, I find joy and focus in every piece I make.

For me, jewelry is more than an accessory—it’s an experience. I want my creations to make people feel beautiful, confident, and connected to something larger. Being highlighted by the International Polymer Clay Association was a wonderful milestone, and I look forward to continuing to share my art with others.
