I grew up around art and very creative people. I am more of a craftswoman although I've also done plenty of fine art work with the favorite medium being watercolors. But I really favor 3 dimensional art and so tried my hand at everything from pottery to weaving as a young adult. As a child I started collecting rocks and if it wasn't for my insatiable appetite for creating I probably would have been a geologist. But put the two together and there was a quest to use natures finest creations in unique pieces of jewelry! Each piece is always one of a kind as I crave variety and there is no end to the beauty which the earth provides me.
