Mary and Doug Hancock

Artist's Statement
The Hancocks have a truly magical mastery of the bridge that connects the past and present. Mary's extensive education and experience in weaving, ceramics, fiber arts, fashion design and jewelry provide the fullest compliment of skills and perspectives to an imaginative, ever-changing outpouring of designs. Combined with Doug's archeological background and participation in creation and production, their unusual work stands as a singular contribution to the world of jewelry.

Mary and Doug blend a universal love for the past, informed by Dougs's archeological fieldwork on Mayan ruins and an ongoing connection to early southwestern cultures, with Mary's refreshing grasp of texture and design - a mix of past and present that resonates with those who collect their distinctive form of wearable art.
