boo poulin has maintained a design and production jewelry studio in downtown rochester since 1983. her work is very graphic, geometric and precision oriented, incorporating materials such as sterling silver, pearls and steel cable into the context of jewelry. this deliberate use of precious and non-precious materials, combined with industrial technology and standard hand skills is aimed at extending the traditional parameters of the jewelry object as well as expressing a personal and contemporary aesthetic. after studying with albert paley at the state university of new york, college at brockport, boo poulin received her m.f.a. from the school for american craftsmen at rochester institute of technology. her work is sold nationally to craft galleries and museum shops.
