“Working with tiny silver clasps for years taught me precision, but I craved something larger. Moving to Vermont in 2019, the mountain light pulled me toward painting. I love how abstract forms can hold the same emotional weight as a perfectly crafted ring.”

About Esme

Tiny silver clasps were once Esme Rowan’s daily work. Jewelry making built a sense of precision, but Rowan wanted to work bigger. After a move to Vermont in 2019, the mountain light led to painting. Rowan holds a degree in art education and works in Burlington, Vermont.

The style moves between abstract and figurative. Flowing curves and layered forms lead most pieces, often traced with thin gold lines. Waves curl through deep blues and teal in one canvas, and in another a figure rises from swirling ribbons of red. For Rowan, abstract shapes can hold as much feeling as a finely made ring.
