Metalsmith Lana Layton currently lives with her husband, dog, and two cats and works in her home studio and a shared studio space in the River Arts District in Asheville, North Carolina.  She is inspired by the mountains, rivers, waterfalls, creeks, wild animals, flora and fauna around her and her work incorporates these inspirations into her designs.

Her unique, earthy and organic jewelry designs demonstrate her attention to detail and the importance she sees in creating high quality pieces for her valued clients.  Her hope as an artist is that you will feel closer to nature by wearing her jewelry as talismans that inspire and uplift you.
