Welcome to Luhmstudios!
I’m Kaitlyn Luhm, a Minneapolis based artist, who has been working on my sculpting skills since elementary school, but more seriously in high school. My love for art has varied throughout the years, but has continued to circle back around to sculpting and creating work at a smaller scale.
I’ve been inspired by a combination of watching my mother make small accessories for her doll houses and room boxes; and my dad who would make and sell jewelry at flea markets with me. I have learned most of my techniques through online videos and chats with other artists, as well as many trials errors of my own. I’m most well-known for my miniature food earrings, but have branched out to other work as well.
I’m currently working on future work for exhibitions as well as more jewelry to sell once again!
