Living on Maui, Nicholas Potash finds endless inspiration to fuel the creation of artwork in many mediums. With a focus on fine jewelry and wearable sculpture for the past 15 years, Potash’s practice is a never-ending journey into the study of living masters of old-world techniques.

“It is my goal to provoke deep consideration of our place in this world by creating pieces activated by my obsession with nature and the parallels I find with my own self-reflection. My work is motivated by my deep appreciation and reverence for rare natural objects. By utilizing precious natural materials and old-world metalworking techniques, I challenge myself to perfect my skills so that my work may sit in harmony alongside the perfection of natural creation.”
