Jewelry designer Linda van Niekerk is recognized for her distinctive style, characterized by clean simple lines, unusual materials, bold sculptural volumes and wearability. Born in South Africa and now based in Tasmania's Huon Valley, van Niekerk's strong sense of place is evident in her work. Her bold designs often reflect an African aesthetic, and many incorporate precious Tasmanian timbers. "As a jewelry designer, my desire is to create simple sculptural pieces that encourage the wearer to be bold, be proud and walk tall."
