Northwestern PA based jewelry artist, Amanda Leonhart, has been forming and evolving her technique for several years. Her love of jewelry started with a career at a young age in the fine jewelry sales industry. After a move and marriage, she had a career change to nursing, but missed the call of stones and metal. She is primarily self-taught using magazines, books and trial and error with a few classes here and there to find her way. Currently, Amanda works with mixed metals and multimedia pieces, focusing on hand forged and handstamped pieces.
