Casey Newberg has a background in design, working most recently in fine jewelry manufacturing as a CAD designer in Philadelphia, PA. She received her BFA from Kendall College of Art and Design in Metals and Jewelry Design, in Grand Rapids, MI in 2018, as well as an MFA in Metals, Jewelry, CAD/CAM Design from Tyler School of Art in 2022 where she taught metalsmithing and computer-aided design before pursuing her second master's degree in Art History at John Cabot University in Rome, IT.
Newberg’s early career in the fine arts focused on the creation of works that explored ephemerality, impermanence, and the humor in the occasionally rotten nature of life. Candy-colored coatings on rapidly decaying, unstable alloys reflect these lofty ideas, further amplified by laser-etched jokes or slogans directly on the finished surfaces. Her background gives her a unique insight as a maker and her focus remains on emotionally charged modern and contemporary art with a special interest in craft and the luxury arts.
