Who Am I? My latest Artist Statement

Tiffany Zal likes to be broad about what she does. But put simply, she’s a maker, and a seller, and sometimes when lucky can combine the two. As an artist, creating jewelry becomes the best of both worlds; art that is practical, wearable, personal, and ultimately art that you live in.



Her line of bike part jewelry is unique in that it embodies something else besides just aesthetic. These pieces are created with re-used bike parts and hardware, giving new life, and a new purpose to old things that might otherwise be wasted. Foraged from Free Cycles, and Home Resource, among other places, this jewelry can be worn with pride. It lends itself to Tiffany’s aesthetic by being rustic, earthy, and a little wabi sabi.
