Jillian Vang is a contemporary jeweler from Libertyville, Illinois. She holds a BFA in Metals and Jewelry Design from Rochester Institute of Technology.
Interested in the transient, her jewelry and small sculpture feature unique ephemera such as tea bags and wallpaper. Her work uses reclaimed and modern elements to render emotions and experiences. Intrinsically process based, her pieces interpret memory through material. With a focus on color and pattern, they invite conversation about ritual, routine, nostalgia, and femininity.
At this time she is working at Pistachios Gallery in downtown Chicago and producing artwork in her home studio.
