Josey Coyle
The artist behind this creationOriginally working at an art gallery in Auckland, Josey heard about a carving course at Tai Poutini Polytechnic in Greymouth. Propelled by a search for a lifestyle that would allow her to be creative and simultaneously connect herself with the natural world, she packed up her car and took off. Josey uses carving as nourishment for her feminine creativity and the sensuousness of natural forms inspires her designs, often paired with sterling silver.
We reserve some of the finest quality stone, and work with a limited number New Zealand's very best carvers and jewellers, to create exceptional greenstone statement pieces.
