"Where Vision Is Art"
DJ Poye, artist and visionary jeweler/gemologist, loves manipulating molten metal at her bench and setting precious stones to create jewelry that works as a balance of form, light and color, transforming rigid boundaries to a higher vibrational plane suited to each individual.
"DJ Poye is a master at harmonizing the perfect mixture of precious metals with exquisite gemstones. Not only are her individual pieces works of art in and of themselves, but they also seem to have a quality that calls to your very soul. Whether it is the use of symbols or the color and vibration of the gemstones in each piece, I find myself gazing at the pieces as if being pulled in and mesmerized by them. The blue chalcedony piece that I purchased seems to have a calming and soothing affect on me. It is much more than just a mere piece of jewelry for me. It seems to be a healing tool for my heart. The craftsmanship and attention to detail that DJ puts into her work is truly outstanding." Susan Jefferson, Medical Transcriptionist
Biography
As a child of 12, DJ was accepted to take Enrichment Courses in fine art at Rice University in Lovett Hall, Houston Tx. with Professor of Art and Instructor Dr. P. Huban. Her high mechanical ability and visionary talents, and seemingly knowing understanding gave her an edge at an early age to see and feel things as they truly are.
DJ attended prestigious Paris College of Jewelry Technology where her studies included Fabrication of Metals, Metal Casting and Stone Setting. Along with Jewelry Design Courses with 1975 "Diamond International Award" winner Martha Ann Gilchrist, and Gemology Courses with Orlando S. Paddock world renowned instructor and author. After graduation she moved into operation and running of her own stores/studio which include:
-- DJ Custom Jewelry, Weatherford, Tx. 1978-1994
-- Inner Spirit, Vallecito Lake, Co. 1995-2000
-- Torched Metals, Vallecito Lake, Co 2000-2002
-- Torched Metals, Cannon Beach, Or 2002-2003
-- Metal Essence Studio, Sedona, Az. Now
In 2002 a huge forest fire forced DJ and son to leave her home in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. A vision led her to the Oregon Coast where the healing North Pacific waters quenched her emotional scars from the fire. "A National Disaster will change your life forever! Life is such a precious gift and time can not be to wasted."
After moving to Sedona, and twenty-eight years of creating jewelry, DJ took a sabbatical to raise her son Ryder and go on a spiritual pilgrimage to India. Soon after her meditations and visions where filled with scared shapes and designs moving her once again to create. Working and inspired by Spirit DJ creates pieces that balances the properties of the metals with intrinsic qualities of the stones to create a Healing Art form made into Jewelry.
As people become more aware of their own uniqueness and understand that we are all light energy vibrating at dimensional frequencies they will have a deep appreciation of DJ's gift as a Healing Art Jeweler. As I look into a person's eyes, the window of their soul I am able to envision the specific piece intended for their individual vibration and light force. My sincere wish is that all who purchase my Healing Art Jewelry will enjoy and benefit from the combination of the aesthetics and the harmony and vibration and light in their unique piece which is both healing and transformational.
