| Biography | |
Working as a chemical engineer and a high school chemistry teacher left Moyra with a need to feed her creative soul. To fill this need, she has taken many courses in pottery, and some in drawing through St. Lawrence College and Mississippi Mills. She is inspired by the works of Christina McCarthy, Darlene Keffer, and Chandler Swain.
Discovering jewellery art has catapulted Moyra into creative nirvana. She exploits the wonders of polymer clay to incorporate exactly the right components into her jewellery. Semi -precious stones ground her pieces through the ancient wisdom of their healing properties. Silver, gold and copper wire are employed to decoratively link components into wearable art. |

In a general sense, refers to objective representation. More specifically, a nineteenth century movement, especially in France, that rejected idealized academic styles in favor of everyday subjects. Daumier, Millet, and Courbet were realists. |
