    Beth Lawrence, also known as Freshie and accompanied by her dog Zero, began making plastic earrings to sell when she was only 10 years old. Having been an artistic child, Lawrence went on to earn her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Belmont University. After graduation she worked various jobs, the entire time still honing her jewelry skills through trying different techniques until one day when she purchased a hammer and to begin experimenting with wire, and found her signature style. Lawrence begins with a piece of sterling silver or gold-filled wire, which she then shapes into a circle, square or other little form. Then taking the wire to her anvil, she hammers it out while purposefully leaving the hammer marks as a distinct style. She often adds asymmetrical touches of gemstones or freshwater pearls, further pushing the rough and delicate dichotomy. Her modern jewelry, including lariats, earrings, necklaces and more, demonstrates a sophisticated elegance in its simplicity.

    Note: This exhibition is in the North Wing Gallery. A free opening reception will be held on January 30.
