Meghan Schmiedel Studio

I live in rural New England where I’m surrounded by farms and nature. In the springtime, poplar trees bloom and turn the streets into pure magic. White fluffs dance through the air for days only to land amongst vultures pulling apart entrails, squirrels outrunning hawks, or foxes and the like trying to outrun us. My jewelry is inspired by this coexistence of life and death within nature, and the fluidity of beauty and decay resulting from it.
