Josey Prior

Josey grew up in Naples, FL - a child drawn to all things art. She’s dabbled in just about everything from sewing to drawing to origami. After her time studying Fine Arts at Amherst College she landed on making traditional handmade chainmail jewelry and garments as her true passion. Diagnosed with Schizoaffective Bipolar Disorder at a young age, Josey uses her art to find beauty and light in every day.
