Irene Wood is a fine artist and jewelry designer. She received her BA in studio art with a focus on painting and has maintained this practice for the following 20 years and counting. Her work takes on a contemporary approach to ancient Chinese landscape brush paintings. While imbuing the poetry of nature, she integrates untraditional materials, colors and techniques to explore themes of autonomy and connection to place and identity.
In 2011, Irene founded her jewelry line, History+Industry, with the intent to translate ancient artifact to powerful contemporary jewelry. She hand-builds each piece in her Seattle studio with collected and handmade materials.
