This event has ended.

As the Beatles put it, "All you need is Love". Around Valentine's Day of this year, Six New York based Jewelry artists, Kim KADISH, Regina KIM, Akane KODANI, Aco SATO, Keiko SHIODA and Max STEINER show their hand-crafted lovely jewelry pieces to represent their small art world.

Kim KADISH
Kim Kadish discovered that she enjoyed using her hands in building three-dimensional structures. She took metalsmithing classes at 92-Y and FIT and worked for two highly reputable jewelry companies. Kim was accepted into the Rhode Island School of Design's jewelry program in 2006. Upon graduation, Kim partnered in establishing a Manhattan studio practice and has been producing commissions for private clients. She currently teaches jewelry fabrication classes at Benlolo Jewelry Academy and trains with Full Throttle, a triathlon team. She likens herself as an art jeweler- this gives her the freedom to express her convictions (political, sociological, environmental, philosophical, etcetera) and create pieces of jewelry that perform a role beyond adornment.

Regina KIM
Regina Kim is a human living and working in New York City.
After graduating from Parsons The New School of Design in Illustration, she continued her education at Kristin Hanson Fine Jewelry School in Brooklyn. With this knowledge, she is now able to represent her ideas three dimensionally and create wearable narratives. Currently, she is working as an artist assistant by day and jewelry designer by night.

Akane KODANI
Akane Kodani is a graphic artist in New York. While studying graphic design at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), she met New York based artists and started as their assistant, delving into the world of New York design and art. After graduating, she has been vigorously active in various fields as graphic designer and as participant of illustration group shows. In 2007, Akane met jewelry designer David Benlolo, and as a new project, established her jewelry line “a-dorn”.

Keiko Shioda has been working at David Benlolo Studio in New York since 2009, creating custom-made jewelry primarily using semi-precious and precious stones. She had her first trunk show in Ebisu, Tokyo in December 2010.

Max STEINER
Max Steiner is a jewelry designer, architectural modelmaker, sculptor, product designer, and 3d modeler. A native of New York, he lives and works in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
Max's design inspiration comes from his surroundings, his experiences, and his vast assortment of hobbies and interests. The son of an elementary school art teacher, he was introduced to many artistic methods, materials, and had loads of encouragement from a very young age. With his background in engineering and design, he's been developing his various jewelry lines using many materials and techniques to express his vision.

WHY SIX ARTISTS?
According to wikipedia, Six degrees of separation refers to the idea that everyone is, on average, approximately six steps away from any other person in the world. It is based on the hypothesis that if A knows 44 people, and those 44 people each knew 44 other people with no overlapping
acquaintance, A will have 446=7,256,313,856 "friends of friends", which would exceed the global population. As such, you too will be connected to the world, stating with these six artists.
