About the Artist
Michael Michaud, designer of the Silver Seasons and Table Art collections, captures the beauty and exquisite detail of nature in metals, pearls and stones. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio and raised in Westport, Connecticut. He currently resides in Fairfield, CT with his wife and children.
Michael studied at the Rochester Institute of Technology’s prestigious school for American craftsmen, graduating in 1980. In 1991, fortunate enough to be living in the Connecticut countryside and working near New York City’s flower district, Michael’s love of nature began to combine with his love of jewelry and metalwork.
Today’s collection is a combination of Michael’s exceptional knowledge of jewelry making and his love of nature. He has perfected the technique of creating models from natural elements and, after models are made, manipulating these “copies of nature” into beautiful jewelry and tabletop serving pieces. Using bronze, zinc, pewter, sterling silver, gold, natural stones and pearls, Michael’s designs have become well known for their remarkable craftsmanship and beauty.
Michael’s pieces are sold only in museums and fine art galleries. They are collected widely, including by Secretary of State Madeline Albright, who recently published her new book, “Read My Pins, Stories from a Diplomat’s Jewel Box”.
