Certains voient le changement comme une mauvaise chose, mais je m'efforce de supprimer les barrières entre les deux genres d'art traditionnel et contemporain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eFusionnant des éléments de design traditionnels et des motifs tribaux avec une élégance moderne et minimaliste, le travail de Kirk-Lente reflète ses racines culturelles ainsi que la sophistication contemporaine. Dans une œuvre, le serpent, ou Avanyu, un esprit pueblo sacré, est présenté en or 14 carats, exécuté dans les moindres détails. Le père Soleil, la grand-mère Lune et Kokopelli sont également représentés, exprimés à travers un style de travail du métal unique et raffiné accompagné de pierres précieuses et de pierres taillées et incrustées avec précision. Kachinas, ours et symboles de la nature ; motifs d'eau, éclairs et étoiles filantes prennent vie grâce à la maîtrise de l'artiste des techniques de fonte à la cire perdue et de gravure au trait fin. D'autres compétences ont été affinées au cours de ses activités académiques formelles; elle a obtenu son diplôme du Gemological Institute of America à Carlsbad, en Californie. En plus de sa formation formelle, Kirk-Lente a affiné son art grâce à l'éducation inestimable qu'elle a reçue de son défunt père, le célèbre orfèvre \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.garlandsjewelry.com\/collections\/andy-lee-kirk\"\u003eAndy Lee Kirk (Isleta)\u003c\/a\u003e . « J'ai tellement appris de mon père », dit-elle. \"Il m'a appris les pierres et les différentes techniques de sertissage, et comment être ingénieux et efficace avec mes matériaux.
