Biography

Jamie Bennett studied metalsmithing at the University of Georgia and later at the State University of New York, New Paltz. His earliest works consist of talismanic necklaces and “protective” brooches made from enamel, silver, ivory, and semiprecious stones. Bennett continues to experiment with enamels and the electroforming process, and wants the viewer to think about the origins of body ornamentation and jewelry.
