What do you think of when you hear the word art: paintings, sculpture, music, or your grandmother’s quilt? What about movies, theater, poems or jewelry? What is art exactly? Many people believe art can be anything that stirs emotion in you. Three different people can experience the same piece of art and have varied reactions. One person may think it's breathtaking; the second person may not like it and the third might just think meh. None of them would be wrong. We all react to art differently and we each have the potential to grow and learn from it. Art tells stories and taps into our emotions in ways that few other things can.

Patina is fortunate to carry the art of Mindy Lam. Mindy’s exquisite creations are like walking through a magical fairyland. Her jewelry pieces are more like sculptures and are composed of 14k gold, copper or stainless-steel wire wrapped around vintage crystals and semi-precious stones. She includes at least one vintage piece of jewelry in each of her creations. “Vintage and new ensure that the piece is timeless,” she says. We couldn’t agree more as we do the same with interior design. We invite you to come and experience the art of Mindy Lam.

P.S. We haven’t forgotten men-Mindy’s brooches are amazing lapel art. They elevate daily wear and make great wearable keepsakes for weddings and special events. Come see for yourself!
