Wendy McAllister says of her work, “My jewelry refers to the botanical world with its
riotous clash of cobalt, chartreuse, and magenta. I am drawn to the lush, psychotropic-like
blossoms, evolved to entice insects into their elegant geometry ensuring mutual survival.
All that sumptuous, unabashed beauty is purposeful, and it sweeps me away as a voyeur to
the spectacle. The seductive, temporal nature of flowers with their quirky technicolor
architecture clamors for my attention as an artist.”
