TZK is a studio artist and jeweler living and working in Massachusetts [US]. Formally trained as a metalsmith, her craft-based practice sways between a jeweler's bench and a studio that finds its form through larger configurations of wood, metal, fiber, and print with a conceptual focus on relational kinships. Her current jewelry production utilizes wood and cold forged anodized aluminum to create one of a kind pieces with an affinity for asymmetry, reflective movement, and distressed color.

King received her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University [2019] and a BFA from California College of Arts [2010]. She was a 2013 artist in residence with EDITIONBasel at Druckwerks [Basel Switzerland] and the 2019 artist in residence with Quirk Gallery + VisArts Center [Richmond, VA]. She is a participating artist of Radical Jewelry Makeover’s RJM Artist Project, and a Jewelry Edition Vol. 7 alumni. King teaches inventive studio workshops nationally and has exhibited in the US, Switzerland, Mexico, and China.
