About the Artisan- Chrissy Glenn
Chrissy wasn’t born in the West, but she knew she belonged here. Raised in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, her love for nature and adventure was sparked by family road trips across the country, where rodeos, Native heritage sites, and endless open skies captured her heart. She fell in love with the wild beauty of the West long before it became her home.
A lifelong artist, Chrissy apprenticed with renowned metal sculptor Val Bertoia in high school and later studied design and textiles in Philadelphia. She eventually found her true medium in metal, working in sterling silver and learning traditional smithing from master blacksmith Jonathan Nedbor. In 2020, her dream became reality when she moved to a ranch in Cody, Wyoming—where the land, wildlife, and wide horizons continue to inspire every piece she creates.
