Artist Profile: Jane Case Vickers
I am an artist working in assemblage to create jewelry. In Lost & Found Objects I couple discarded bits from daily life; lost keys, worn buttons, seashells, small toys, vintage costume jewelry and hardware with semiprecious stone and glass beads - redeeming these objects for a new life. It is my hope that the juxtaposition of the precious with the mundane will cause you the wearer to smile as much as it did me when I created it.
I studied Art at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, IL where I received a MFA in Fibers and Art History. For the past 12 years I have directed an arts program at Patchwork Central in inner city Evansville, IN. I enjoy making art with the children from the neighborhood, who often bring me cool items they find themselves in walking through our city.
