Night Fox Jewelry is owned and operated by Kate Finley, who holds an invaluable degree in Anthropology and African Studies from a prestigious liberal arts college. After racking up loads of debt and subsequently graduating, Kate spent a couple of years discovering that a liberal arts education qualifies the possessor of said education for…not much—at least not in the state of Wyoming.

The state is square, but the people are not.

Clearly, she needed a plan.

It occurred to Kate that she had always had a natural talent for creating jewelry:

Early Masterpiece

Luckily, she had a few years of metalsmith training and found that she was much better working with metal. To the great relief of her friends and family, she stopped creating farm animals out of clay.

So after a few days of feverish scheming, Kate decided it was time to turn her longtime love into a business,

Greatest Business Plan Ever Written

and in 2005, Night Fox Jewelry was born. It turns out that a liberal arts education does in fact qualify one for…well, just about anything.

Night Fox Jewelry Collaborations

Night Fox Jewelry Collaborations is an artisan partnership between Kate Finley, a self-proclaimed entrepreneur (or unanchored risk taker), and Dianne Foreman, a retired 30-year veteran educator (or stable responsible adult). Theirs is a mysterious though tenable collaboration of balance, creativity, discovery, and development born out of a shared need for the refuge of art.

Both Kate and Dianne possess backgrounds in art—Dianne was an art teacher and Kate fashioned farm animals out of clay. Then they discovered the versatile world of metal where anything is possible. Their collaborations are the result of their vast explorations of the media and their ever-expanding quest to learn more about the world through making.
