“Freedom in a Vessel”
Brooke Westlund is an emerging contemporary Seattle artist. Brooke lives the spirit of the urban vibe in Seattle. Residing in the Belltown neighborhood, she bartends at a modern hotel bar, and works at her own studio in the iconic and exciting Pike Place Market. Brooke's paintings and jewelry are known not only in Seattle, but other major cities in the United States. Brooke is quickly becoming a successful mixed media artist and jewelry maker. “Made with love by a creative soul" is written on the back of her work, which represents her belief in putting love and care into each and every one of her pieces.
This collection- "Freedom in a Vessel" symbolizes a lightness of being. The collection begs the question, “is this complex or is this simple?” The symbolism resists the false dichotomy of choice. It is both. It represents wholeness and embracing the ambiguity of many possibilities within us.
Brooke uses feathers from nature, blown glass, and sterling silver wire and fittings to create this collection. Experience freedom in a vessel.
