Sandy Baker

I has been an artist and tinkerer as far back as I can remember. Beginning in childhood with pencils and crayons, I soon moved on through other media — popsicle sticks, aluminum foil, colored tape, paint and clay – to steel dapping tools, hammers, a jewelers bench block, a soldering torch and a flexible shaft. To this day she continues to be passionate about jewelry creation in precious metals. I have won awards and been honored by the Women’s Jewelry Association and the Jewelers of America for Excellence in Design. My work is included in the Design Archives at the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum of the Smithsonian. Museum stores across the country such as those in the Carnegie Museums, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, the American Jazz Museum and the National Ornamental Metal Museum sell her work. My work appears in the books ‘500 EARRINGS – New Directions in Contemporary Jewelry’, ‘BRILLIANCE! Masterpieces from the American Jewelry Design Council’ and ‘500 Gemstone Jewels’.
