Where Creativity Meets Lifestyle
on Vancouver Island North

meet the artist

                                                           Michelle Varkonja

Michelle Varkonja, Artist & Metalsmith of Backcountry Jeweler, brings an authentic expression of her background in forest ecology to her work as an artist. Creating pieces that celebrate the Rugged Coast & the Coastal Temperate Rainforest.  

 

Her work has translated into authentically hand-forged jewelry that showcases stones and thoughtful design, expressing poetically earthy and grounding vibes.

 

Living tucked away in the freedom of Northern Vancouver Island (Port McNeill), she finds endless inspiration because she is fuelled by a life where creativity meets lifestyle.
