Valerie James is an artist based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She received her BFA in 2016 from Tyler School of Art and an MFA in Jewelry and Metalsmithing from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 2019. Through the format of jewelry, James translates the gesture and psychology of traversed spaces. Using various techniques such as engraving, she conveys the mobility of jewelry, and the agency it instills both in and out of the studio.
