About the Artist




That's me! On the  coast of Western Australia, patiently awaiting a total solar eclipse, April 2023.
Yleana Martinez is a metalsmith who works in silver and gold, using precious stones, some that she cuts and polishes herself. She learned the art of jewelry making mostly at Metalwerx, an internationally recognized not-for-profit school in Waltham, Massachusetts.  A former Studiomate and monthly blogger for the school, Yleana has returned to her beloved home in Austin, Texas, after three decades of living near Boston. A total solar eclipse enthusiast, she travels frequently to far corners of the globe, always in search of inspiration, and native stones and gems to use in her work.

"Nothing feels more gratifying than using fire to transform Earth's gifts into art. I honor the planet by practicing ethical metalsmithing, using materials that came to us from the stars and are as old as time itself."
