Profile Type: artist
Amie Jacobsen is sculptor, designer, and public artist living and working in the Kansas City area. A lifelong creator, she began her career as a painter and illustrator, but transitioned to metalwork in 2015. After training for two years in a metal fabrication shop in the Kansas City Crossroads Art's District, she moved into her own studio and workshop. She currently produces works in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, but also incorporates wood, glass, paint, and various other materials into her work. This allows her to create pieces ranging from functional to whimsical to monumental. "Each of my pieces is unique, but I inevitably circle back to flora and fauna, wildlife, insects, and other animals as inspiration. Ultimately my work is meant to be uplifting, communicate energy, movement, and playfulness, yet I strive to maintain a sense of elegance and craftsmanship." - Amie Jacobsen
