Jan Loney is a metal smith at heart, but loves all art forms. Both of her parents, as well as, her sister are artists, so it seems it runs in her blood. She has dabbled in everything from painting to sculpting but nothing has made her heart sing the way metal does. She loves that you can bend it, melt it, change its color, forge it, and solder it and more. Today, in addition to starting a family of her own, she runs a small studio creating jewelry and other metal works out of found objects.
