About the Artist: 

Judi McCormick’s passion for design has led her to many rewarding endeavors. Her adventures include launching the international ski and swimwear company Deep Powder Designs, hand painting silk textiles, and designing fabrics in New York City for Halston, who was infamous for his innovative textiles and iconic clients, including Andy Warhol, Elizabeth Taylor and Bianca Jagger. She also designed a line of ladies ski wear for CB Sports and created her own company of high end sweaters made from a fabric she invented of luxurious yarns and hand dyed ribbons. It was from these high-end sweaters that her passion for jewelry and gemology emerged. Buttons made from semi-precious gemstones became a trademark of her sweaters, and her natural instinct was to create jewelry that matched. In 2000 she began her studies at the Gemological Institute of America, earning various degrees in pearls and gemology.
