Lina Wilder (Idle Gauds) is a self-taught jewelry artist who lives and works in Clinton, CT. She focuses on hypoallergenic materials, clean lines, and natural shapes. Once upon a time, she was an opera singer; currently, she teaches courses in Shakespeare and Renaissance literature at Connecticut College. Idle Gauds is named for a line from _A Midsummer Night’s Dream_: “My love to Hermia, / Melted as the snow, seems to me now / As the remembrance of an idle gaud / Which in my childhood I did dote upon.”
Wilder is currently a featured artist in Spectrum Gallery’s Autumn Art Festival on the Town Green in Madison Connecticut.
