The artist / Abigail Boeshans
A practice in
resilience.
From the sciences
to the studio.
Oil paintings, handcrafted jewelry, and a search for the light that stays.
The story behind the work
In her own words
“My work is an extension of my journey from the sciences to the studio.”
After earning a degree in Biology, I realized I was missing the creative expression necessary to balance my professional life. I taught myself to paint in oil, and then to make jewelry, learning the craft one piece at a time.
The work I make now is about finding hope in the darkness. Each painting is a small study in resilience; each piece of jewelry is built to be worn, not put away in a drawer for special occasions, but lived in.
I work from a small home studio. Every piece is made by hand, by me, from start to finish.

The way I work
Small studio.
Considered pieces.
One pair of hands.
Every painting and every piece of jewelry is designed and made by me, from start to finish.
For a daily life.
Jewelry for the grocery store, the studio, the wedding. Pieces to wear and live in, for years.
A slower practice.
Recycled metals where possible, ethically sourced stones, and the time to make fewer, better pieces.
