Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
by Betsy Lehndorff
Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water, winter, plants, critters, rocks and the heavens. Her work, often representational and sometimes narrative, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.
