Cathy Jolma - Leather and Jewelry Artist
Location: Flagstaff, Arizona
Cathy Ronstadt Jolma was born into a Tuscon pioneer family, and spent her childhood on a ranch in southern Arizona riding horses and raising Hereford cattle. She grew up surrounded by artists and musicians, and early on began incorporating the heritage of her family and Arizona’s diverse natural beauty into her own art. She has now lived in Flagstaff for many years and the influence of the mountains and the forests is especially strong.
Her pieces are rustic and personal, tangible art to be touched. From skillfully hand-tooled and painted journals to purses to wallets to tablet cases, Cathy has worked and sewn leather into art for everyday use. She combines traditional mediums of leather, hair, and even old coins to give her pieces a southwestern cowboy style while embracing contemporary fashion and needs. Silver, leather, and semi-precious stones complement each other in her jewelry. Her pieces are strong and beautiful at once, perfect for any man or woman who loves the southwest or the outdoors.
