About the Artist or Work:
Jo Ann Palmer has always had a love for gemstones and silver jewelry.
Her inspiration grew when in high school in Connecticut she took her
first metalsmithing class. Later at Seton Hill College she continued
studying both three dimensional art and business management. As part of
her degree she was apprenticed to Jennifer Gourley of Earth Dance
Jewelry. There she was exposed to many different styles of
silversmithing, and learned the art of beading.
After college Jo Ann spent several years in the business world learning the practical applications of running a small artisan business. During this time she continued her metalsmithing education through art centers and retreats.
Since starting her business, Jo Ann has embraced the idea of jewelry as wearable art. Causing her to create pieces that encourage joy, personal growth, and transformation.

Where do you find your inspiration?
My pieces are inspired by nature and my sense of whimsy. My love of
the spiritual and nature has motivated me to expand my artistic
vision.
