Aimee Petkus' background in geology is combined with her desire to create, manifesting itself in the work that she makes.  Combine inorganic and organic materials and forms to show this duality within life. She is inspired by the vast canvas nature provides, where one will find organic, living things that show symmetry, geometric patterns, order and repetitive elements. Petkus received her BFA in Jewelry and Objects from the Savanah College of Art and Design and a BA in Natural Resources from Colorado State University.
