Sheana Stephen was a graduate of Gray‘s School of Art, Aberdeen. She works as a Scottish silversmith and textile designer. She now lives and works in Edinburgh where she is an established artist jeweller, working for exhibition and commission.
She first exhibited at a festival exhibition in 1971 and subequently has had her work included in numerous prestigious galleries in Scotland. She has twice served as the Vice President of the Scottish Society of Women Artists and has served as President of the Glasgow Society of Women Artists. She has also been Chair of the Friends of the Royal Scottish Academy and served on the committee of the Art Friends of St Columba’s Hospice.
She has had many awards for her jewellery designs and in 1992 was asked to make a brooch for presentation to Queen Elizabeth II. She has received many eminent commissions. For the celebrations of Dame Elizabeth Blackadder`s 80th birthday, Sheana was asked to supply themed jewellery for the shop in the National Gallery and also for the Falkirk Callendar House exhibition.
This is a lovely large brooch by Sheana. It is made of silver and has an Edinburgh hallmark on the back for 1996 and her maker's stamp: SMS. It is shaped like a circular dish with raised central section decorated with blue, green and yellow enamels - perhaps to look like a Ruskin cabochon. It is a unique, one-off piece. The surface of the silver has been slightly planished to give it some texture.
The brooch has a diameter of 4.5 cm.
It will be sent to you in a simple black gift box - and they in an outer sturdy box with Royal Mail (Small Parcel) service. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
