About Regina Krawets
Enjoying careers in both interior design and wearable art jewellery, Regina Krawets has won awards both nationally and overseas for her beaded artworks. In 2020 Regina completed a Bachelor of Design at UNSW Art & Design as well as a jeweller’s trade course to further hone her technical skills and pursue her passion for creating contemporary jewellery pieces in fine metals that merge her love of architectural forms, colour and textiles to create contemporary objects of adornment. Building on an appreciation of repetition in design and the belief in the maxim that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts that first attracted her to beadwork, Regina continues to draw inspiration from her urban environment to explore notions of its intersection with nature and its inhabitants, identity and belonging as well as issues of sustainability.
