Emily Walters

My name is Emily Jungden Walters and I am located in Kansas City, MO.  Born and raised here, I attended Notre Dame de Sion high school and received my Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Missouri State University, Springfield.  I have a dual emphasis in printmaking and metalsmithing, and a minor in art history.

Since graduating I have worked in a few different jobs, including metalsmithing assistant to local designer Robyn Nichols, and as an elementary art teacher at Our Lady of Peace School; however I have always maintained my own small business on the side, emmy-ray, and am now lucky to be doing it full time.  I do freelance jewelry design, and sell my products online and here in Kansas City at bon bon atelier (in Westport).  I also enjoy teaching the occasional metal smithing work shop at genevieve flynn studios.  I am also a member of the Kansas City Wedding Hive, a collective of local artists and designers interested in creating indie and alternative wedding experiences for their clients.

My main area of work at the moment is metalsmithing (jewelry design) and floral design, but I also dabble in interior design, video editing, and painting.  I am passionate about art, fashion, and design, and if it calls for a creative mind, I am usually up for the challenge.
