Josie graduated from Eastern Kentucky University in 1981 with a B.A. in Graphic Design. While taking an undergraduate class in metals she discovered a love for creating art using precious and semiprecious metals and stones.

After graduating, Josie apprenticed as a Bench Jeweler and Custom Designer for 5 years. Then in 1986, she started her own venture; Josie Flowers Design, Inc.

Josie has participated in Juried Craft Shows in the Eastern U.S. and now works in her Studio in Versailles, Kentucky where she currently resides with her husband and three dogs.

It is her love of animals and her volunteer work with the Woodford Humane Society that inspired her “Silver Dogs” custom jewelry line. These unique, and one of a kind pieces are each created to resemble your own “best friend”. All are hand fabricated out of Sterling Silver and Gold. Josie also continues to craft custom wearable art out of Precious and Semi-Precious metals and stones and works with each individual through the process from drawing to the finished piece.
