  • Artist: Megan Sweeney

As a Jewelry and Metals major, Meghan Sweeney specializes primarily in enamel and casting. The Foundation year at CIA was crucial for her because it taught her how to use creativity in problem solving. She attributes the wealth of knowledge that she gained to her experienced professors, as well as a program called “Engaged Practice" (through which students get involved with a community organization).

For her artwork, she takes natural objects like leaves and petals and fills in the holes and gaps with enamel. The enamel creates an almost stained glass effect when the sunlight hits it, which helps her jewelry stand out.
