Booth #: LN1CI am a metalsmith, jewelry designer, and artist. At a young age, I began to explore various mediums of visual art. It wasn't until a metalsmithing class at the University of Kansas that I discovered my real passion. During my last semester at KU, I had the honor of studying at Lahti Polytechnic Institute of Design and Fine Arts in Lahti, Finland. There, I had the experience of a lifetime that continues to influence my work to this day. I would go on to receive my BFA in Metalsmithing and Jewelry Design from KU in 2006. Since graduating, I have had the privilege to gain inspiration from continued travel and am happy to call Lawrence, Kansas my home.
