My modest beginnings in designing and making jewelry began when I was a tumultuous young teenager of 13 in the mid 1960’s. Bewildered by the speed and competitiveness of the culture in which I found myself; I would come home from school and find calm by retreating into the world of colors, shapes and the “elemental” magic of jewelry making. Little could I have known at the time that this youthful plunge into the world of pure imagining would turn into an entirely unimaginable adventure that has lasted a life time.
