Elisa DeLorme
Elisa DeLorme is a jewelry artist living in Cleveland, Ohio (OH), pursuing a Bachelor of Craft & Design degree at the Cleveland Institute of Art (CIA). Her work is inspired by metal music and translates the high energy environment and visual motifs associated with the music culture into metal and mixed media jewelry forms. Her work was included in “I Won’t Touch Grass” at Negative Space Gallery in Cleveland, Oh and in the CIA Student Spring Show in 2023. She has participated in pop-up shops at St. Patrick’s Pop-Up Shop (Human HeART Studios), Whimsical Witches Market (Acorn Alley), and the Student Holiday Sale at CIA. Elisa creates private jewelry commissions and enjoys collaborating with clients. She is the recipient of the 2025 Wingate University Fellowship at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
Connie is a Cleveland based artist currently pursuing her BFA at the Cleveland Institute of Art in Crafts, Jewelry and Metals after a career in Neurology. She enjoys the materiality of metal and loves to explore different techniques from casting to fabrication and forming. Her art is informed by her Asian heritage, her admiration of nature, and her continued joy in helping others. Her jewelry art line focuses on the societal pressures of desire and consequences of an internalized institutional Gaze. Her production jewelry line hopes to instead add positivity, bringing happiness, confidence, and luck to their wearers.
