Marina Bulla Jewelry, Charlotte, NC
Born and raised in Sankt Petersburg, Russia, Marina Bulla has been living in the United States since 2003 and settled down in Charlotte, NC in 2017.
She began painting as a means of dealing with changes in her personal and professional life. She started with local landscapes of the SC shore and progressed to contemporary portrait painting.
Gradually her interest shifted into creating wearable art – jewelry, where each piece is a delight for those who appreciate exquisite craftsmanship and refined style. Her limited edition and one-of-a-kind pieces, which are handmade in her studio in Charlotte, NC feature hand-painted miniature oil on wood medallions complimented with ethically sourced semi-precious gemstones, are created from the heart and evoke a sense of magic.
She is a self-taught artist and jeweler who relies mostly on her sense of beauty, fantasy, and imagination. Her secret to success is her love for art and the creative process.
