We are thrilled to invite you to our next monthly virtual studio visit with artist Kristin Beeler. Learn about Kristin’s artistic practice and current projects which include art jewelry with a conceptual focus on notions of beauty and the body’s infirmities. Since 2002, Kristin Beeler has been Professor of Art and Coordinator of Jewelry and Metalwork at Long Beach City College in the Los Angeles area. She is native to the Blue Ridge Mountains of central Appalachia and is a second generation graduate of historically significant, craft-centered Berea College receiving a BFA in Crafts and Applied Design with a minor in Philosophy (1989). Her Master of Fine Arts in Jewelry from the University of Arizona (1994) was followed later by post graduate studies at Alchemia Jewellery School in Florence, Italy (2011) and Atelier Rudee, Bangkok, Thailand (2013). Her work is included in the collections of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Appalachian Center for Craft, Tennessee; and Berea College, Berea, Kentucky; and in the private collections of major curators of craft.
