An exclusive collaboration between Audra Kiewiet de Jonge, Founder of Art/artefact x miniaturist painter Irene Owens, The Artist’s Eye engages the female gaze through the eyes of women artists from history. A wearable collection of miniature portraits in antique jewelry, these pieces are a modern reframing of the Lover’s Eye–a highly intimate historical form of portraiture–to inspire contemporary conversation about art history and how, and for whom, it is recorded.
…..
Art/artefact is a nationally recognized art advisory and interior design practice founded by Audra Kiewiet de Jonge and known for placing a collection at the heart of every project. Formally trained as a painter and an art historian, she brings a modern sensibility to her historical perspective—bringing art and objects into context and conversation with the way we live today.
