When you purchase a piece of hand-painted Urban Regalia jewelry, you are adding a unique piece of art to your collection.

As a professional visual artist Winter trained & began her career as a painter. She has also been making jewelry throughout her years as an artist, and considers this part of her arts practice. So it was probably inevitable that sooner or later the painting & the jewelry would overlap!

These one of a kind earrings & necklaces incorporate the styles & motifs of Winter's American Indian heritage. Yet the designs are often also highly influenced by time spent both in the art world & in the Caribbean neighborhoods of Brooklyn & the unique sense of style there.

Each one of these pieces is a little painting you can wear - but at a fraction of the cost of buying a painting. They are perfect for the woman who can appreciate the truly artful things in life & who likes to make a bold, beautiful & colorful statement.

Urban Regalia features unique contemporary jewelry and accessories by painter and multi-media artist Winter Brown. Winter is a Plains Cree/Metis Nation artist from Edmonton, Alberta. She has also made camp at various locations in Canada, the UK & New York City throughout her career. She i snpw based in Brooklyn. Winter creates dynamic, cutting edge contemporary artworks in a variety of media including painting, digital collage, photography, installation, video & sculpture.

Winter has been making unique jewelry throughout her arts career, and thinks of these 'wearable artworks' as small sculptures and paintings. Each Urban Regalia piece is an singular, original artwork, lovingly & meticulously hand-made with great attention to detail.

Winter's accessories are strongly influenced by the regalia worn by the colorful traditional powwow dancers in her home culture & territory. She draws from this stunning traditional 'haute couture' of Native people & incorporates into her pieces for an innovative look.

Winter mixes the visual & esoteric style of her Native culture with the influences of much time spent in the major urban centres of New York & Toronto & London, where she has access & insights into the most contemporary fashion, fine art & urban culture.

Urban Regalia includes one of a kind hairpieces, necklaces, earrings & loom beaded chokers. You can wear these tribal-style accessories as a unique part of your casual look. They can also add an unforgettable touch or more dramatic impact to a dressy outfit.

Winter also creates wonderful keepsake boxes and traditional plains-style dolls. These are one-of-a-kind items that are a great addition to a collection. And obviously these and all the Urban Regalia creations make fantastic gifts.
