Marjorie K. Schick

Marjorie Schick has been a major influence in the field of jewelry since the late 1960s when she created sculptural papier-mâché forms and linear "drawings to wear" inspired by the sculpture of David Smith. Schick earned an international reputation in the 1980s with her spiritual "stick" forms that related colors to shapes and rhythms of the human form and the immediate space around the wearer. She continues to work at Pittsburg State University in Kansas, where she has taught since 1967.
