Ling-Yen Designs

Since my studies with David LaPlantz at Humboldt State University I have continued my journey with classes and assistantships at the Mendocino Art Center. What defines my jewelry is its handmade nature and the exploration of unusual yet captivating themes. The “Windows of Opportunity” series, inspired by my travels and observations of city buildings, captures the essence of life and weather changes through the metaphor of windows. Another distinctive series, “Unmentionables,” draws inspiration from Ukiyo-e, the woodblock prints of Japan, reflecting simplicity in lines and everyday life.
