About

Tana Acton utilizes textile techniques in metal, wrapping silver or gold-filled wire over a sculptural framework, often incorporating gemstone beads or pearls in her bracelets and rings.  She studied metalworking in the 1970's, explored modern dance, and fashion design over the years, and all these disciplines have given her a vocabulary with which to work. "Movement, air and light are used to create pieces that are at once delicate, yet solid, organic yet sharply contemporary."
