Mark Garcie

Mark Garcie has been a metalsmith for over 20 years and has worked and studied with some of the top metal artists in the country. In 1993, inspired by the theft of many of the sewerage covers in the city, Mark was the first artist to use the iconic New Orleans water meter image in a line of sterling silver and bronze jewelry. In October after hurricane Katrina, Mark designed another series of New Orleans themed jewelry simply titled ‘NOLA’, inspired by Robert Indiana, to promote how much love he and every citizen of New Orleans feels for the city. He also creates jewelry that combines his interest in medieval and gothic style with the elegance and decadence of New Orleans, incorporating sterling silver and bronze cast pieces, pearls, stones and found objects- everything is handwrought in his 9th ward studio
Mark also has his work shown in several galleries, museums and boutiques in New Orleans.
