Jennifer Younger is an award winning Tlingit artist from Sitka, Alaska. She started making jewelry, incorporating Tlingit designs, as a way to learn more about that part of her heritage. She is best known for the fusion of traditional metal carving with contemporary elements.
She is fulfilling her dream of pursuing something related to traditional Tlingit art, while having the freedom to express her own style. Jennifer draws inspiration from traditional Tlingit formline designs, historic artifacts, spruce root basket weaving patterns, and from the contrast and texture of metals. The pieces created start with sheet metal of mostly silver or copper. Everything is cut and shaped by hand. The wooden tools used, to shape the jewelry, are all handmade as well. Each engraved creation is made solely by the artist, engraved freehand and one-of-a-kind.
