Lee Carrell, living in Texas, and being fifth generation of a Texas family, has found it hard not to be influenced by Texas and the love Texans have for their land. Lee is a true westerner and artist, whose love of the traditions, history, and beauty of Texas and the rest of the American West, has led to his creating personal, exclusive jewelry which expresses this love and the appeal of this region. Lee has also created a special line of jewelry with a Texas theme. Lee uses silver, gold, and other metals, as well as precious, semi-precious stones and enamels to create wearable art.

Lee is a professionally trained jeweler and artist who received an MFA in Jewelry and Design from the University of Kansas under Carlyle H. Smith. Lee has 30 years experience as a professional jeweler, designer, and teacher. Lee's designs have been commissioned by such notables as Kim Basinger, Actress; The President of Northern Arizona University; The E.E. Smissman Foundation; Texas Parks and Wildlife; and the Northern Rockies Heritage Center. Lee is listed in the Who's Who in America, Who's Who in the World, and was recently chosen one of the 2,000 outstanding jewelry and metal arts designers of the Twentieth Century by the International Biographical Centre in Cambridge, England.

We are pleased to present here a selection of Lee Carrell's wearable art.
