“Art inspired by nature” is what they say about the work of American designer Michael Michaud. His story goes back many years and began in 1973, when young Michael began his journey as an apprentice mold cutter, soon becoming a master caster of precious metals. He graduated from the prestigious Rochester Institute of Technology, where he mastered metalworking techniques and began working with America’s leading jewelry designers. Michael Michaud creates his jewelry and decor collections far away from New York, surrounded by his family: his wife and three children.
His jewelry is a copy of nature, an open botanical atlas. Brooches, earrings, bracelets and necklaces are made by Michael Michaud entirely by hand, using the original technique of working with the material: the wax form is created directly from botanical elements, and then the work is cast in bronze, covered with gilding and patinated. In Michael Michaud’s “jewels”, the beauty and grace of nature remain for centuries, and the use of pearls, corals and natural stones emphasizes this beauty. In each work of the artist, the texture of natural material is unusually accurately conveyed, whether it is birch bark or the texture of boxwood. Rose, peas, cornflower, bunch of grapes, cherry on a branch, red poppy, lily of the valley and dandelion – this is not a complete list of Michaud’s botanical jewelry collection.
Michael Michaud’s jewelry is exhibited at the National Gallery of Art in Washington (Wisteria collection), the Victoria and Albert Museum (Morello Cherries collection) and the National Gallery (Sunflowers collection) in London, as well as in private collections.
