Aleksandras Šepkus was born in 1954. He attended Kaunas Secondary School No.5. In 1972, Šepkus entered Vilnius Arts Institute, the Department of Industrial Arts and graduated successfully in 1977. In 1988, the artist moved to the United States of America where he founded his company Alex Šepkus in 1992. The jewellery made by Aleksadras Šepkus is sold in nearly 150 art galleries of America as well as other countries. The jeweller resides in the Hudson River Valley, close to New York.

Aleksandras Šepkus works with extremely expensive and sometimes exotic materials, and creates exceptional articles of pure art, which are not only remarkable pieces, but also comfortable to wear jewellery. When writing and speaking about Aleksandras Šepkus, art critics and colleagues pay close attention to the fact that, “From the very beginning of his path to creativity, this gifted person has always been touched with the freedom and feeling of an independent artist that is hard not to follow and admire.” 

The jewellery exhibition of Aleksandras Šepkus is going to be open to the public at the Church Heritage Museum until October 1, 2012.
