Emanuela Aureli

i make drawings
to release the steam of the mundane
and ease my mind by hand.

i make drawings
to chase down visions
of lines and dots and shapes
in vivid colors.

i make drawings
in celebration of future memories
in cheerful modes of joy
on paper
with bright magic markers.

After decades of professional practice as a studio jewelry maker, and having all along always experimented in various mediums and disciplines, Emanuela Aureli recently decided to ‘come out’ with drawings as well, and show them in public.

Born in Italy and raised in Germany, Emanuela apprenticed with goldsmiths in Italy, Switzerland and the US, and traveled extensively to major Fine Craft Shows throughout the country and abroad to showcase her jewelry work. Emanuela holds a BFA in Sculpture/Experimental media (1997) from the California College of Arts and Crafts (now CCA) in Oakland, CA.
She worked in video, film, sculpture and installation.
