Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Matthew Charley

I create jewelry using traditional Navajo silversmithing techniques. Hand-wrought silver and gold ingots are all fabricated by me. Hand rolled and stamped. Gem quality turquoise are used throughout my work. My work is inspired by timeless Navajo designs, culture and art.
