Maui Nouveau

The flowing and sinuous lines of this collection are inspired by nature, and the influence of Art Nouveau architecture and jewelry upon the designer. I’m sure you have noticed it, when you are out in nature… the unspeakable beauty that touches your core when you notice tree branches curving in an “oh so perfect” dance of line and balance ... Or the leaves of a plant that flow with meticulous detail ... when you look so very close and notice the compartments that make up that leaf, that stem ... tiny hairs and veins…a myriad of greens that make up the jungle hillside ... it is all so perfect, and evokes a feeling of peace, contentment, and harmony within the observer.
For Carol, this is the inspiration of her designs. Joining the components of metal, stone ... with qualities of color, texture, line, shape, size ... so many factors go into the design of a piece. The designers’ sense for flowing lines and harmonious composition is born of her communion with nature.
