Connie Pieper

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.
