Raised in Colorado; educated at Washington University in St. Louis (BFA) and University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee (MFA); Keith Farley was trained as a traditional contemporary metalsmith whose work was influenced by Heikki Seppä, his mentor. Working in metals and jewelry for over thirty years, he has developed his own unique style of embedding and hiding precious jewels, combining metals and creating objects of delight. Keith’s jewelry and other metal objects have been sold internationally, are in private collections, and worn by those who value finely crafted, highly individual works.

Keith works in his studio in Northern Kentucky just outside Cincinnati, Ohio.
