Polymer clay artist and adventurer, Kathleen Dustin, has been at the forefront of the material's development as a medium. Constantly pushing its limits and finding new peaks and plateaus, Dustin takes the plastic material and renders it into breathtaking representations of nature and abstract modernist canvases. Fine art in jewelry, she achieves translucence, light, verdancy and mimics natural forms as simple as twigs, branches and beach stones. Her immaculate clay purses are works of art that take the ideas burbling up from her jewelry and fleshing them out into fullblown masterpieces.
