  • Portrait of Jeter posing with a butane torch. This object is significant to her as a jewelry maker, and she says, "I love the magic of fire and silver meeting to create beautiful, functional jewelry. A few minute of a 2000 F flame can create a piece that I'll wear for years." She was first introduced to Asheville when she attended graduate school at Western Carolina University, drawn in by the art scene and natural beauty. She has remained in Asheville for its arts and entertainment without the hassle of a big city.
