Alex Story has explored many forms of the visual arts from ceramics to enamel and oil paints. In London and Paris she focused her studies on sculpture, metal smithing and welding. Her work was large, bold, organic and difficult to transport. Returning to New York, she refocused her eye onto the smaller scale of jewelry and found satisfaction in making art that people can wear. She discovered a small workshop in Soho where she has refined her style using the lost wax process. Each piece is hand carved from wax and then cast in silver, gold or platinum. Each piece is hand-finished, some accentuated with precious and semi-precious stones. Alex's style remains heavily influenced by her sculptural background; her pieces mimic sculptures' bold, organic shapes and textures in a way that manages to be both graceful and playful. A fourth generation native New Yorker, she currently lives and works in the East Village. Her jewelry can be found in boutiques in Nolita and the East Village and has recently been featured in Lucky magazine.
