Alyssa Norton is an American artist living in Somerset.

Driven by process and experimentation, Norton’s poetic and innovative visual language captures subtle relationships of light, colour, texture and movement between materials.

With a background in painting from Cornell University and a second degree from the Instituto Allende in Mexico, Norton was drawn to work with metal, a medium with an intrinsic light source. Influenced by Dan Flavin and James Turrell, her debut jewelry collection merged delicate coloured perspex forms with finely crafted silver.

Norton’s techniques of weaving, tying, and wrapping yielded intricate compositions of metal, antique components and textiles. Her distinctive silk woven chains effortlessly traveled the body, transforming into necklaces, lariats, bracelets, belts and headpieces. Featured by Vogue and lauded by the Council of Fashion Designers of America, Norton garnered global acclaim for her transformative approach to design.
