Katie is a fine art jeweler and designer. Her work as a fine art jeweler is rooted in the interplay of myth, folklore, and the natural world. Inspired by the sharp geometries and flowing organics found in nature, she crafts pieces that embody both structure and fluidity.
She has studied jewelry and metals at Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle, WA Tacoma Metal Arts in Tacoma, WA, and at the New Approach Jewelry School in Tennessee. She holds a BFA from Eastern Washington University in Visual Design, and has worked as a designer and art director for 15 years.
“As a devoted rockhound, I am drawn to the raw beauty of natural gemstones, celebrating their unique inclusions and imperfections as hallmarks of their earthly origins. Each design is an exploration of the extraordinary within the everyday, transforming earthly treasures into wearable art.” -Katie Leute
