Alicia Roman has been creating one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces since she was first inspired by an adding machine wheel found on a street in Moscow in 1992. A tiny treasure imprinted with reversed numbers along its perimeter, this miniature relic was the beginning of a line of jewelry combining mechanical parts, elements of nature such as insect wings, and aged bits of text into modern looking objects “with a past.”

 

Since then, she has continued to use unusual materials in her work including cut-up credit cards, magnets, rusty metal, Russian candy wrappers, vintage film and illustrations, and other found objects. 

 

She has a BFA from the Corcoran School of Art, graduate studies at the University of Texas in Austin, conducted and participated in workshops and shows internationally, and is currently an art teacher with FCPS.
