Ornamental Elements

Holly Stein’s work will make you say…WOW…from the home page to the  variety of items featured in her Design Lines photos. “I challenge myself to create works that are conceptual in nature and stretch the limitations of my own ability as well as others’ preconceptions about art. I like incorporating common and recylced materials — altering purpose and usefulness and elevating what is perceived as refuse into, what I hope is, art. Many of my pieces employ unexpected twists — an unusual finished back, hidden talismanic words or jewelry as a decorative element on a completely functional box. I strive to make a connection with the viewer and wearer that makes the work exciting and original and can be enjoyed for it’s beauty and quality.”
