Dylan Johnson is an emerging artist from Denver, CO who has recently graduated with a BFA from Metropolitan State University of Denver with a concentration in Jewelry/Metalsmithing and a minor in Industrial Design. Dylan first sought out a degree in Industrial Design, but as he progressed through the Industrial Design program he felt that it was not quite the right fit for him – something was missing. During this pivotal time Dylan was taking an elective Jewelry 1 course and knew that this was his calling. The Industrial Design courses were not a waste by any means and actually crossed over well into the Jewelry design work Dylan was doing. Dylan believes in the spirit of old style craftsmanship combined with today\'s cutting edge technology and specialty finishing techniques to create works of art that blur the lines of design through the ages. While Dylan is influenced by the Art Nouveau movement of the late 19th century he doesn’t simply wish to copy from that era, but to combine old ideas with new and go in different directions that create an entirely new movement for this millennium.
