Meet the Maker:

Growing up with one foot in Southern Maine and one in Yonkers, NY, Jennifer Walker became attuned to both the rhythms of nature on the rocky coast, and the texture of blue collar urban life. She loved working with her hands, and during high school, when she took a metalwork course at what was then the Portland School of Art, she knew she wanted to be a jeweler. Jennifer attended Parsons School of Design in New York City for two years, where she studied with renowned artist and enamel pioneer Rebecca Laskin, and completed her BFA in Metalsmithing and Jewelry Making at the Maine College of Art. After returning to Manhattan in 1997, she worked as a Local 1 plumber for a decade, before moving to St. Louis with her family. There, realizing her dream of developing her own jewelry line, she founded Jenny Walker Jewelry in 2011. Jennifer’s studio, in the city’s historic Shaw neighborhood, is open by appointment, and she travels around the country doing juried art and craft shows. Her jewelry is carried by the Baltimore Museum of Art giftshop in Baltimore, MD, the Frank Lloyd Wright Fallingwater museum shop, the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, and the New York Public Library gift Shop, among others.
