Jillian Moore is currently an MFA Candidate in Jewelry and Metal Arts at the University of Iowa.  She received her BFA in Metalsmithing at Western Illinois University.  Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally.

About her work, Jillian writes, "Recently, I've been combining forms that I find appealing based on my interests in biology.  I've been creating jewelry forms that become extensions of the body-invented symbiotic organisms.  I'm also interested in small sculptural forms that are becoming more abstractly figural as they evolve.  I enjoy what is both repellent and seductive."
