I was born and raised in Kiev, Ukraine. I graduated with a Fine Arts Diploma from Shevchenko State Art School. I discovered a love for metalwork and jewelry making back home in Ukraine where I learn metalsmithing. Trained as a silversmith in Kiev, Ukraine. I design and handcraft my jewelry one piece at a time in the studio in the Lopatcong, New Jersey. All my pieces are entirely hand fabricated. Beginning with sterling silver sheet and wire, 14K-18K gold, I work with traditional techniques and tools to create my one-of-a-kind and limited edition jewelry pieces. I use precious and semi-precious gemstones, pearls and found objects in my work as well. To achieve the finish look I use textures and patina. Yanina is a member of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen, Bucks County Craftsmen Guild, Gallery23 in Blairstown, NJ.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT - "I first started working in clay over 40 years ago. The tactile feel and the spatial forms that the clay can take on has always drawn me in. I especially love functional pots that beg to be picked up and held. The fact that a pot is pleasing to the eye as well as the touch is very satisfying. Asian and Islamic ceramics have always had a strong influence on me. I strive to integrate form and design into my work. Once a pot is formed, it then becomes a palette for the brushwork designs I’ve developed over the years. My work is porcelain and Stoneware fired in a gas reduction kiln or a wood-fired salt kiln to cone 10. All is food safe, dishwasher and microwave safe", says Susan.
