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, filati, and ceramic tile that I source from Morocco. I re-work these materials to create depth, texture, and pattern. Fashioning miniature art pieces into jewelry combines my love for jewelry and mosaic arts.
I am inspired by nature and geometric 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.
