Since a very young age, I wanted to be an artist. You could say that art was my first love. My journey has been an interesting one, including studying art at university, changing later to seek a degree in chemistry and mathematics, then spending almost 20 years in England, running a successful retail shop, finally returning to the USA, and becoming the mother of three beautiful children. Each of these life experiences has influenced my love of art in different ways, and while I continued to draw and paint, I also developed a love of physical materials, colorful hand made items, and jewelry. I find that jewelry making incorporates many enjoyable aspects of art, allowing me to combine my science, math, and art skills to create items that I hope will bring joy to others.

Note:  You may from time to time see jewelry or home decor items that feature raised dots.  These dots are braille, which is a code that allows blind and visually impaired people to read with their fingers. My children help me with this part of the business!
