Hello! My name is June Martin and I am the artist behind MOTH & TWIG. Thank you for stopping by.
I've worn a few hats in my day and am thankful for it but I find that I am happiest when I'm working with my hands, manipulating materials into small, wearable works of art. I utilize various materials including smalti, glass, millefiori, filato, and ceramic tile that I source from Morocco. I re-work these materials to create depth, texture, and interesting patterns. Fashioning miniature art pieces into jewelry combines my loves for jewelry and mosaic arts. I am currently broadening my fabrication and enameling skills and hope to combine these skills with mosaic work soon.
I am inspired by nature and strong graphic patterns. I tend to favor saturated colors and often work in color palettes inspired by some of my favorite regions including the Pacific Northwest, the Southwestern US, the Mediterranean, and the jungles of Central America.
