About

Abby Oxford is a three dimensional artist, art therapist and educator whose practice incorporates hand designed jewelry and keepsakes inspired by her walks among nature. Oxford's interests have evolved over her lifetime exploring the land she traverses appreciating the imperfections observed in natural colors, shapes, textures and found objects. Her nuanced collections explore the beauty of imperfections creating copper jewelry and keepsakes through a technique called electroforming.

Oxford's artwork has been shown among galleries and virtual exhibitions and she has additionally presented locally, regionally and nationally on her work and process. She is the recipient of the Ron E. Hays Presenter Award by the Pennsylvania Art Therapy Association for her 2025 National Presentation, "Beauty in the Imperfections- Transforming Found Treasures into Something New and Meaningful".

Oxford is a practicing Board Certified Registered Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor. She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses within the Art Therapy Department at Marywood University, Scranton Pennsylvania. 

Spending time among nature is both inspirational and restorative to my wellbeing. Aside from collecting found objects I pay close attention to natural colors, shapes, textures and patterns documenting my inspiration through photographs. My documentation allows me to outsource materials creating site specific jewelry and keepsakes that reflect the land. My nuanced collections invite viewers to appreciate the beauty of imperfections and the unique story behind each piece.
