Sher Novak uses traditional forming techniques to make jewelry that expresses her love of form and texture. The pieces show the mark of her hammer, transforming flat metal sheet into three-dimensional shapes. She is inspired by the natural world, and influenced by an urban life. In any environment, she notices structural relationships: rhythm, repetition, gradation,proportion, and line. 

After a career as a pattern maker in the fashion industry, Novak earned a BFA in Jewelry/Metal at The California College of the Arts in 2015.
