michelle stewart is a kinglake based jewellery artist
who works with metal clay and glass as as well as
traditional jewellery-making techniques. she enjoys
the process of creation and the challenge of
creating a visual cue for the story. as much an
illustration as an artform, her work hovers between
sculpture and jewellery and can be appreciated both
on and off the wearer.
mariposa magic is the registered business name for michelle stewart . mariposa is spanish for butterfly . michelle uses mariposa for her business name because
as she was exploring this world of jewellery it seemed like she had found the exit to the cocoon she had been living in until that point. she felt like she was
unfolding her creative talents as a butterfly would unfold her wings as she emerges from the darkness . the magic that this inspired and the feeling of freedom
meant that mariposa magic was formed . the creation of meaningful jewellery pieces has set michelle on a path of exciting potential . thank you for visiting .
