Ann Allen
Jewelry is a collaboration of jewelry
designers Ann Allen and Mary Winstead.
Ann Allen is a gold and silversmith with
a B.F.A. from Brooklyn College,
Brooklyn, New York and a Masters in
Metalsmithing from SUNY New Paltz at New
Paltz, New York.
Mary Winstead, silversmith, holds her
B.A. from Antioch College in Yellow
Springs, Ohio. Her Masters degree and
Doctorate degree in Urban Studies are
from Indiana University, Bloomington,
Indiana.
Both artists worked in the field of
social work before making the decision
that creating jewelry was the medium
that they wished to use to express their
creative selves. This year starts their
thirty-second year in the jewelry
business. Both Ann and Mary are members
of the Florida Craftsman Guild and the
Florida Society of Goldsmiths. Their
work has been selected to be shown and
sold at many fine craft galleries across
the US and England.
