Pat Flynn is a modernist and a master goldsmith, whose wearable, visually engaging jewelry designs are sought after by collectors throughout the world.  A perfectionist, Flynn executes each setting, clasp, and hinge or surface treatment by hand and with great precision.  Flynn has always used unexpected combinations of materials - as in his "Nail" series of brooches, bracelets and necklaces combining iron with gold, platinum and diamonds.  He is best known for the remarkable "Heart Pin" series, created over two decades, in which the iconic heart form is transformed into the artist's pungent takes on life, art history, metalsmithing and jewelry itself.
